Lock your personal folders in Windows |Knowbabble

We all need privacy! Don't you think?
Be it a business professional, a juvenile teenager or an old citizen, everyone has his/her private data to be with-held from others. Folder Protect is your answer.
It is a smart concept in Data Security. I have been using this since 3 years to hide my games, movies and college stuff. Let me explain how it works.

Lets you password protect and set different access rights to your files, folders, drives and installed programs.
Lets you customize your security by choosing between making files inaccessible, hidden, delete-proof or write-protected.
Lets you lock, hide, access block and even prevent data from being deleted or modified.

Click to download Folder Protect !

A layman's walk-through :

Once you are done with the download steps,installation and launching, you get the following window asking for a password!

Enter the password and confirm it to get the following window. Click the 'Add' option.

'No Visible' hides your files and folders.

'No Delete' keeps your files and folders delete-proof.

Select the files/folders that you want to hide/protect. Just a single 'left click'.

Click the 'Add' option. The path is added. (shown in red in the image below)

Click 'Protect' and its done.

Double-clicking a path opens an edit box where you can customize your protection.

In 'Settings', you can change your general,protection and password settings.

Who doesn't want a short cut? You can set a HOT KEY for Stealth Mode activation.

Choose an alphabet (example : F)

So my HOT KEY is Ctrl + Alt + Shift + F

Now I directly open Folder Protect by using this HOT KEY.

If you want all your selected files/folders to have common settings, then either click 'Select All' or hold 'left click' and drag it upon the paths. Apply your settings.
