How do you securely lock files/drives on Windows without creating another user account?
How can I securely lock/hide files and drives on Windows without creating another user account?
I occasionally let friends use my laptop, but I don’t want them accessing personal files, browser history, extra drives (D:/E:), downloads/photos/projects.
I’m using Windows Home edition.
What’s the best practical approach here?
I want something reasonably secure but not overkill.
