Hide Folders is a security application that lets you password-protect private files and folders on your drives. You can make files and folders inaccessible or invisible, or protect them from modification. Protected files and folders cannot be accessed by other users, whether locally or remotely. An effective protection mechanism, an intuitive user interface, and a set of fine-tuning options make Hide Folders suitable for everyone from novice Windows users to computer experts.
