The protected folders include common system folders (including boot sectors), and you can [add additional folders](customize-controlled-folders.md#protect-additional-folders). You can also [allow apps](customize-controlled-folders.md#allow-specific-apps-to-make-changes-to-controlled-folders) to give them access to the protected folders.
By default, the following Windows system folders are protected:
- `c:\Users\<username>\Documents`
- `c:\Users\Public\Documents`
- `c:\Users\<username>\Pictures`
- `c:\Users\Public\Pictures`
- `c:\Users\Public\Videos`
- `c:\Users\<username>\Music`
- `c:\Users\Public\Music`
- `c:\Users\<username>\Favorites`
> [!NOTE]
> You cannot remove the Windows system folders that are protected by default.
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.
