Windows 10: Lock win10 Desktrop Folders in place.

How can I get the Win 10 desktop files to stay put where I want them without third party software?

I want the folders locked to the location of my chosing unless i unlock them and move them myself.

Not by theme

Not by size

Not i a row on one side of the screen.

Where I want them.

Until I choses to move them .

Like on I could on a MAC for the last 20 years give or take.

I have searched and this seems to be a huge issue for years.

Im hoping by posting I will get up to date information.

win 10

version 19041.30

Thanks in advance.

Folder locked and dissapeared after unlock

Well here's something i found on this:

http://en.kioskea.net/forum/affich-475786-lost-my-files-in-folder-lock

But it doesn't work here , i don't have that folder.

Can somebody help me searching for a solution , tnx.

EDIT:

I did that and that's when the folder just disappeared but the data is still there, the program is very confusing about restoring files , it says that "files should become unlocked automatically" ... so where the heck are manual unlocking instructions.

It's not an encrypt , it's just a password lock , so data is all open. The problem is, i would get like 225 GB of individual files off the HDD recovery , i just want the harder way of accessing the folder but getting the folder structure , where can i find the time to SORT 220 GB of data omg.
