I use Windows explorer (in Windows 11) folder properties to encrypt a folder and its files.
In the process no password was setup. I was able to login to my computer using a different user and still was able to see the content of the files. So what is the encryption used for? Only if someone steals my hard drive cannot see the folder's content?
What is the security level of folder/file encryption? can a rookie hacker still see the folder/files?
