so Microsoft basically removed the ability to password a folder on windows 10 because your account is already protected. the problem is that it's really not, physically anyone can access your computer. so I have a password when entering windows, but why can't I just bypass that by using safe mode and then removing the password? unless it can't be done (pretty sure it can and at most I just need to access my email) and let's say I encrypt a folder (properties allows this) it means that unless someone uses windows via my user, they will never be able to access that folder?
I often don't lock my computer (again, anyone can probably hack it like nothing, this isn't an iphone, pc's are super easy to hack if you have physical access) I would just prefer if no one finds the 75 mother milf daughter lesbian incest videos I have inside that folder. pretty sure it's not that bad tho, people probably have some really fucked up stuff saved on their computers XD
I know there is a script I can run that basically allows me to lock the folder by making it vanish and then show it again via the script exe by using a password. however it works on a single folder so if it has any more folders inside of it, it won't work as well. basically what I want is for anyone to try to open that folder and not be able to without a password, and that you can't just download a hacking app and gz folder is unlock after 5 minutes. I also don't want to zip/rar it with a password because then I can't keep using it without extracting it every single time. another problem is renpy games for example that show up as game saves inside user folder/appdata/roaming.
it is truly annoying how programs tend to spread all over the place instead of remaining in a single location.
p.s.
I don't want to hide the folder, that would be too simple of solution and I happen to like everything unlocked and shown for faster access.
