This is kind of ridiculous that there seems to be no way to simply password protect a local file on windows 10, other than compressing it and adding a password through WinRar, doing stupid unsecure methods or doing through Windows which doesn't even seem to work for me. I have also tried to do it through windows explorer in the advanced properties with the encrypt option, however I couldn't do that because the option to encrypt it was greyed out. I have tried using the technique of creating a bat file to hide the folder with a password, however this no longer locks and hides the file for some reason and it is unsceure anyway due to the bat file being able to be opened. I currently use WinRar but I absolutely hate how every file is compressed and therefore if I have a file full of photos open in WinRar, for example, each one takes a while to load and I can't navigate through them using arrow keys. It doesn't need to necessarily be encrypted or anything it just needs to be secure.
