how to lock files folders?


I have a computer and there are many users of this computer and I've got some important personal files on it so that I would like to lock my folders with a password. I was wondering that is there any software of any other way to lock a folder with a password or something? If someone has any idea or know about it please tell me also ……I would really appreciate …..thanks a lot

This way you can protect your personal things and make it private. Yet another option is making it hidden. There is an option available to make your files and folders hidden. Also with certain tricks you can create a folder and once the files are stored and locked the folder disappears. All you need is to download a text file for this purpose.
