Prevent standard users from messing with your stuff
How to Protect Folders and Files from Being Copy, Move, Delete, Edit, and Renamed in Windows 10
No matter what you use your computer for, there are probably files on your machine that you don’t want anyone else to rename or delete. Unfortunately, Windows doesn’t have a standard mechanism to prevent your files from being deleted from your computer. Any user who has access to your machine can find your files and modify them, rename them, and even delete them from your computer.
Securing these important files is a task in itself. While Windows does not protect your files by default, it does provide an option that helps protect your files from deletion attempts. In fact, there are multiple ways, both built-in and third-party, that help prevent your files from being modified on your computer.
The best way to prevent files from being renamed and deleted in Windows is to use the default option available on your system. This option does not require installation and is easy to access and use, even for beginners.
