i want to be able to have folders with a password on them. Since you cannot do it on Windows 10, is there a program to do this? No, i don't want to do the command prompt way.

For what purpose? I mean if you want to keep them secure then encrypt and hide them. If you dont want your family or friends opening your porn just hide them and require admin permission since it will be faster.  

                     .

yes windows. i guess i will be trying to hide stuff on a VM

if you have the power, hide it within a VM within a VM, then make sure to mark it hidden.

Like the name lol, and the dual vm is a waste

1 vm in the appdata folder with admin permission and hidden if you really dont want encryption  

                     .

app data folder, that's perfect, nobody looks there. 

Also your name is cool as well.

You could also use programdata if its a single user
