Is it possible?
My google results are all telling me to use third party software.

Which, I don't want to do.

My gut tells me you'll have to rely on making your entire profile directory private and implementing different user accounts.

you could do a password protected compressed archive file. Windows treats them sort of like a directory.

If you only want to password protect one directory you can use the NTFS encryption.
Code: Select all
Directory
<alt> + <enter>
Advanced…
Encrypt content to secure data
I never tested it.
But I assume the data is not visible for another user.
I think it does the same thing as Kieran Huggins suggested.
But only for one directory instead of a whole user profile.
