Hello, i was wondering if there is a thing built into Windows 10 that allows you to put passwords on programs. For example(although i wouldn't do this one but) applying a password to paint so whenever you try to open it, it requires a password. If there is nothing in windows 10 that allows you to do this, is there any software i could download for this?

Thanks in advance.

You might be able to do some trickery with Sandboxie to get it to run in some kind of password-encrypted sandbox. I don't know about the specifics though.
