This research addresses the limitations faced by users of basic versions of Windows, who lack the capability to create password-protected and hidden folders without requiring an upgrade to enterprise editions. We present a novel solution that enables users to establish secure folders within basic Windows platforms. Our approach involves the successful implementation of password protection and hidden attributes for folders in basic Windows versions. By disguising the secure folder as a system component file, its visibility to unauthorized users is reduced, enhancing its concealment. Furthermore, our solution ensures the portability of these secure folders, allowing them to be seamlessly transferred to compatible pen drives while retaining their protective features. Upon accessing the folder, users encounter a command-line interface that prompts them to enter a predefined password for entry. This rigorous authentication mechanism prevents unauthorized access to the folder's contents. Our research bridges the functionality gap between basic and enterprise Windows editions, providing enhanced security measures for users operating on basic platforms. The findings contribute to advancing Windows security practices, offering a practical solution for safeguarding sensitive data in everyday computing environments.
