Allo, rotteneggs, time for another egg from Chompy
This is a very simple egg for people who don’t know how to do this, so if your going to complain about simpicity, leave now. Also yes the folders can be cracked by programs, but who would really go through all that trouble just to see your folder.
OK, onto the egg now.
FIRST
make a folder on your desktop or if the folder already exists on your desktop that you want to lock then you’re one step ahead.
Now, with your folder you want to right click it, and go to "send to" and then compressed whatever it says in this screenshot.
You will get this pop up
Click yes or no, it doesn’t matter.
Now you will have an icon like this on your desktop
If you don’t have WinRar it will just be a regular folder with a little zipper on it.
Send your original folder to the recycle bin. and open your new zipped folder
You’ll see your folder, click it to go into there.
Now highlight all the items you want to password protect, if there is alot just click one, then press CTRL+A
Next go to file, and then set password, or set default password, depending on your computer and your programs it will say something different
Now set your password, this may also look different on your computer
Now close out, and when you go into the zipped folder and your folder, if someone tries to click on any of the files the password command prompt will pop up, and unless they put the correct password in they cannot open the file.
Obviously they can see the file name so don’t have it as "hardcore gay porn" or some shit like that, cuz then they can tell what it is without opening it.

thank you captain obvious for another amazing discovery |

That’s slightly pointless, given you can still see the file name, and there are programs out there that will completely lock a file unless you have a password.
Two stars. |

Learn to read, then come back.
Until then, thanks for trying and failing! |
