[Looking For Application] Application that locks/password protects folders? - Speaker Knockerz - Nov 19, 2014
I'm looking for a software/program/application that generally locks folders so they can't be opened without a password. I have a password protected flashdrive but i'd like to keep these certain files on my computer. No this isn't for hiding porn. I have a little brother who likes to snoop around and sometime goes on my computer. He's not the sharpest crayon in the box and sometimes deletes folders on the desktop by mistake. ANYWAYS can someone help me out?

There's a "native" way to do it under Windows without any third-party programs.
