Windows 10: Password protection for files and/or folders within an Admin account in Windows 10 Pro

Is it possible? Let's say I want to give someone access to my PC, including everything except a few files or folders.If I create a non-Admin account and put everything but the sensitive content in that account and give them the password for that account, they won't have access to the Admin account areas. This works, of course, but in my particular case, it's more convenient for me to have a single Admin account on the PC in question, so ideally I should be able to create passwords that prevent access to specific files and folders, even in an Admin account – i.e., that I, the Admin, would hav

Password protected folder/file in Windows 7 ?

Simply

I would like windows to ask for a password when ANYBODY opens up a "password protected folder" , nothing more. This is an epic fail for win7 to not have a native feature like this , ... workaround?


-no freaking external programs
-no encryption
-not via policy settings (usless for network users)
-the web is full of nooby-youtube videos and cheap 123 advert-sites which includes: external programs, zip arcihves, other useless stuff ... but there's some command prompt instructions which i didn't tried yet.


The folder is shared on the network that's why is currently useless to use security policy.

Unless you find a way to select other network users via security policy.

I never found a way to link another PC with the user of another , the "locations" is always from local computer , that's stupid.

There's also an option to "encrypt contents to secure data" ... that should automatically make a password protected , but it's totally useless , that's the password it takes from the user account passworld , plus , it's encrypting , it will take 22 hours to encrypt a 225 GB folder, which i need FAST accesss and not for archival.
