I'm looking for ways to lock down some applications like Telegram and WhatsApp, as well as certain folders on my work laptop. I occasionally need to share my laptop with colleagues and senior staff, and I want to make sure my personal information remains private. What methods can I use, such as coding options or biometric security features, to achieve this?

Just a reminder, always back up your data before making any system changes. Security features can sometimes be tricky.”,
If you're using a work laptop for personal things, just a heads-up – it might be safer to keep those separate. But if you need to hide your stuff, consider creating separate user accounts. This way, your colleagues won’t have access to your files.
The best solution would be to set up a non-admin account for sharing. When you log in with that account, it won't have access to your personal apps and folders. You can also tweak the permissions on your main account by right-clicking the applications you want to lock, going to properties, and adjusting the security settings.
