How to encrypt a folder? Folder encryption method

        Under Windows, if you want to encrypt, you can make a separate account and set the folder to be accessible only by yourself, but the administrator can still access it, so it is best to use the administrator account. Other accounts cannot be administrators. Others feel that there is no good way. If you do not select encryption software, please follow the steps below.

Steps/Methods

2.
