I was curious about how hard it is to do this, and is their a guide?

I found this and set controlled folder access from off to on, by the way the prior menu page said everything was ok even with controlled folder access off.
With it set to on, how do I add which programs can access the drives? I have things like OpenCPN charts program, Malwarebytes, Chrome...

Well, it seems to be relatively easy. My controlled folders are documents, pictures, videos, favorites, music. All very generic ones, so the charts folder is not protected yet.
Is there any downside to doing this, how many of you use this?
