Thanks In Short NO! not on its own anyway, unless you create the options ( meaning Scripts) usually you would need some sort of third party program. You could use the encryption feature which is only available in Windows 10 Pro.

BUT there's not enough information -- What type of shortcut ?? Is it to a Program Folder / File, Website ??

1467411 2020-03-15 20:00:00 You could do it if you have Files on your Desktop by right clicking on your Desktop/new Compressed(zipped) Folder

Move files to the Folder and Password it

Won't work for Program short cuts,they can be accessed elsewhere in the program menu

Thanks Thats different. its dangerous saving log in details for a bank anyway.

Years ago browsers wouldn't allow you to save bank passwords, these days they do.

What you can do is go into the Browser settings and remove the entry, then it will prompt you each time to enter an account number & password.

Depending on the browser will depend on where they are located & easy enough to remove. Reply back which Browser and someone will help.

Thanks Sweet as :) Open Chrome, Click three Virtual Dot top Right hand Corner.

Settings- privacy and security - Autofill - Passwords

Locate the bank details click on the 3 dots beside the entry just to the right - Remove.

Auto log in is now gone. Next time you log in the bank make sure you don't click save - instead click NEVER or ignore the prompt.
