    Is there any software (freeware), that can "lock" a specific folder?

    I would do like Aquinus suggested and compress it and lock it using 7z or winRAR. If it's files that you don't plan to change, but if you do then use Truecrypt as others have suggested.

    windows 10 deleted my desktop files

    Step 1 - I upgraded to Win 10 and lost all my files on Desktop.

    Step 2 - Found the files in Network - USers- Desktop

    copied all files again to desktop.

    Step 3- Restarted my machine again and lost desktop files again.

    Step 4 - As suggested did the following as listed below but dont find my files.

    • Press “Windows + E”, open This PC/Computer
    • Open Local Disc C, open Windows.old
    • Click on Users, select your User name
    • Go to desktop folder
    Cant find my files. Why is Win 10 deleted files again and again from Desktop ?.

    Unable to move, copy or rename .7z file

    Hello Collin,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    Usually, file cannot be deleted if it is in use or there could be a possibility of permissions on the file that is not letting the file to be deleted.



    Let’s go ahead and take ownership of the file and see if the file can be renamed or moved.

    1. Open the file location
      and right click on the file i.e. Анвил.7z.
    2. Click on Properties
      at the bottom of the context menu.
    3. Click the Security tab, click
      Advanced, and then click the Owner tab.
    4. Click Edit. If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
    5. Click the name of the person you want to give
      ownership to.
    6. If you want that person to be the owner of files and subfolders in this folder, select the
      Replace owner on sub-containers and objects check box.
    7. Click Apply and then click
      OK.


    If the issue persist, please try to boot the PC in safe mode and check. Refer the article

    start your PC in safe mode in Windows 10    .



    Hope it helps.
