I'm not sure why my folder won't lock when I type "Y" when given the prompt if I want to lock.

It's been like this for a couple of days. Is there a fix or should I just make a new password protected folder?

If it is just a standard widows folder, try a little program called "take ownership" adds a right click option to windows to take control of locked folders.

Its free and has worked great for me in the past especially back in the day with virus removal.
