To password protect a folder on Windows 11, you can use the built-in feature called "File History".
- Right-click on the folder you want to password protect and select "Properties".
- Click on the "Edit" button next to "Permissions".
- In the "Permissions" window, click on the "Add" button.
- Select "Create a new user or group" and enter a name for the new user (e.g., "Folder Protection").

Click "Apply" and then "OK".
