Hiding my personal information from others.

Right click on the folder that you want to hide. Then look for the properties option, on the general tab at the bottom part you can see hidden, put a check mark on hidden and then click apply. Another page will appear. Choose apply changes to this folder only and click ok button. Then you can't see the folder anymore.

If you wish to see the folder again, go to tools and click the folders option and view and select on show hidden files, folders, drives.

 

To put a password on a folder right click the folder, select add to archive, locate archive format then select zip. C

 

Click on advance tab and then look for select password. It will ask you to enter a password and click ok.

This is a fantastic problem that I ever heard of till now. At the present moment, why would somebody want to enter, to observe another folder maybe for reading about your confidentiality. You should open a folder file with a name saved. You won't tell your friend about the saved file name and you cannot urge your friend the name of your document file name. In addition you have the ability to create a user name to lock your computer. You cannot disclose the user name to your friends too. Prohibit your friends that they have no work with your folder.
