This is kind of ridiculous that there seems to be no way to simply password protect a local file on windows 10, other than compressing it and adding a password through WinRar, doing stupid unsecure methods or doing through Windows which doesn't even seem to work for me.
Compress-Archive -Path 'pathtobezipped' -DestinationPath 'zipdestination'. I am then calling it using the cmd which is not ideal. The closet I've got is this powershell script that creates a zip file without a password. Step 1: Right-click on one existing ZIP file you want to password protect, and select Open with WinRAR from the context menu. I have also tried to do it through windows explorer in the advanced properties with the encrypt option, however I couldn't do that because the option to encrypt it was greyed out. I am looking to create a password protected zip file in Windows 10 using command prompt. I have tried using the technique of creating a bat file to hide the folder with a password, however this no longer locks and hides the file for some reason and it is unsceure anyway due to the bat file being able to be opened. I currently use WinRar but I absolutely hate how every file is compressed and therefore if I have a file full of photos open in WinRar, for example, each one takes a while to load and I can't navigate through them using arrow keys.
Drag and drop your files to the center NewZip.zip pane. This will display a pop-up menu next to the folder. 9 Navigate to a folder you want to password-protect and right-click it. It doesn't need to necessarily be encrypted or anything it just needs to be secure. Password protect a zip file (Windows 10 and macOS) Open WinZip and click Encrypt in the Actions pane. Click the File Explorer icon in the taskbar, or press the Windows key + E to open File Explorer.
