Hi -
This is easy. There’s no need to download extra programs for this — you can simply encrypt the files in question so that only your computer can open them.
I assume you’re running Windows. If this is the case, then go into My Documents or My Computer and find the folder that contains the files in question (it could even be the entire My Documents folder if you wanted).
Right-click the folder you want to “lock” and in the pop-up menu choose Properties. On the “General” tab, near the bottom (next to “read-only” and “hidden” you’ll se a button that says “Advanced” — hit it). Now check the box that says “encrypt contents to secure data.” Click OK, then Apply. The files that are encrypted will now appear in green type and can only be opened by your computer unless you “decrypt” them.
See the website below for more info.
Hope this helps!

Did you try right-clicking on the folder…select properties..select share tab and make adjustments.
Cheers
