Our software Folder Guard is a tool that we've specifically designed to make it easy to create a private folder and stop other users from getting into that folder. Before you can use this software, you need to download and install it, if you have not done so yet. The download is free and it includes a 30-day license of full use, no credit card required. If you don't find it useful, use Windows settings to uninstall it from the computer, just like any other software (no hard feelings!).

After you have installed Folder Guard, use its icon on the desktop to run it. The first time time you start Folder Guard, it prompts you to set up the folder protection:

If you've used Folder Guard before, you should see a bit different screen with the link to change folder protection settings at the bottom:

Do you want to set up a private folder so that when someone opens it, they would need to enter a password to see what's inside of the folder? If so, Folder Guard can password protect folder of your choice. This method of protection is convenient, because all you need to do to start working with the private files is press the Unlock button and enter the correct password. However, what if someone else comes across this folder while browsing the computer and see the Unlock button? Maybe you don't want them to know you have a private folder at all?

If you don't want them even to see the private folder, can use another method of folder protection offered by Folder Guard: you can hide folder by restricting its visibility !

If you are only trying Folder Guard out, you may want to create a test folder on the desktop or under the Documents folder, or somewhere else on your computer. Press the Browse for folder button and select the folder that you want to become hidden:

You want the folder you've chosen to be hidden, so select the appropriate visibility option on the next screen:

Press Next, and another screen should appear giving you options for restricting access to the private folder. Select the No access option, to make sure that if someone were to guess the name of our private folder and attempt to open files in it without actually seeing the folder, such attempts would be prevented by Folder Guard:

After you've set up the restrictions for the private folder, the last step is you need to tell Folder Guard to start protecting the computer using the settings you've just created. To do that, press the Protect button on the toolbar, or press Apply if the protection is already on. You can also exit Folder Guard application and reply Yes when it prompts you to continue to protect the system:

From now on, if you or someone else attempts to use Windows File Explorer to browse your computer, you should not see the private folder among other files and folders. However, what if you want to open the private folder and add a file to it or work with the private files already there? Run Folder Guard using the desktop icon or Start menu, and choose Pause the folder protection :

Enter the Folder Guard password that you've set up when you've installed Folder Guard, and the protection will pause: your private folder should become visible and accessible again. You can open the files from the private folder, edit them, save the files back, as usual. When done making changes to your private files, run Folder Guard again and choose to resume the protection:

The private folder should become hidden again.

Dear Mike

I am an independent advisor, and I am trying to help other users in Community with my experience in Microsoft products.

You have posted your question in Outlook.com forum, so I assume you are using it in browser.

If you remember title of the emails that are missing or email address or even domain, try use search. In this article you will find all the suggestions and tips how to search for specific email https://support.office.com/en-us/article/search...

If you will find those emails, you will see in which folder they are. Or you can search for folder straight away.

If you are using Outlook app for Android or IOS, open app click on 3 lines or account name in the left upper corner and select the account and swipe down until you will see the folder. Than select it.

If you are looking for something else or you will need further assistance, please reply to this message.
