Set Password on Local Drive

[Guest]

Does anyone know if you can create a password protected hard drive? I would
like to create a password access only to one of my local drives, but not sure
how. I often allow other users to use my login, but would like to keep
restricted access on some local drives.

There's no mechanism for password-protecting a folder. Instead, let me
encourage you to change your tactics. Don't allow anyone else to use your
login. Instead, create separate local accounts for them. Now you can rely on
Windows's access control mechanisms to do their job. Your documents folder
will be inaccessible to those other accounts. Each of them will have its own
documents folder.
