 The protected folders include common system folders (including boot sectors), and you can [add additional folders](customize-controlled-folders.md#protect-additional-folders).

+- `c:\Users\Public\Documents`
+- `c:\Users\<username>\Pictures`
+- `c:\Users\Public\Pictures`
+- `c:\Users\Public\Videos`

 You can use [audit mode](audit-windows-defender.md) to evaluate how controlled folder access would impact your organization if it were enabled. You can also visit the Windows Defender Test ground website at [demo.wd.microsoft.com](https://demo.wd.microsoft.com?ocid=cx-wddocs-testground) to confirm the feature is working and see how it works.
 
 Controlled folder access is supported on Windows 10, version 1709 and later and Windows Server 2019.
