How to Create a Password-protected Folder?

Creating a password-protected folder can be a great way to secure sensitive information on your computer. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to do it:

1. First, create a new folder on your desktop or in any directory where you want to store your protected files.
2. Next, right-click on the folder, select 'Properties' from the dropdown menu.
3. In the Properties window, go to the 'General' tab and click on the 'Advanced' button.
4. Check the box that says 'Encrypt contents to secure data' and then click 'OK'.
5. You will be prompted to back up your encryption key. Follow the instructions to do so.
6. Once the folder is encrypted, only your user account will be able to access it without any additional password.

By following these steps, you can create a password-protected folder to safeguard your important files and information from unauthorized access.
