Descriptions:
Folder Guard® is a powerful computer security program that you can use to control access to Windows files, folders and other resources. You can use Folder Guard to lock your personal files and folders with passwords, to prevent other users from taking a look at your records. You can even completely hide your private folders from virtually all apps, and those folders will remain invisible until you enter a valid password. You can also protect sensitive system files against modification or destruction, disable access to removable drives, restrict access to Control Panel, and more.
Recent Changes:
Folder Guard can hide your personal folders from other users.
You can configure Folder Guard to hide your private folders (or make them appear empty). The folder would be hidden from virtually any program, including Windows Explorer, Office, MS-DOS, etc.
Folder Guard can password protect and restrict access to file folders
You can password protect any document folder to prevent access to your personal files without the intruder knowing the password. You can configure Folder Guard to allow only certain users to change computer settings with Control Panel, while denying it to other users.
Folder Guard can control access to programs and files
You can prevent other users (even administrators) from using system tools that can mess up your Windows installation, while allowing that use for you or someone who knows the master password. You can also designate backup programs as trusted ones, allowing them to back up your protected files in the background without asking you for the password every time.
Folder Guard can block access to USB, CD-ROM and other removable drives
You can configure Folder Guard to allow or deny access to removable drives, restricting the user's ability to run or install unauthorized programs on their computer.
Folder Guard is suitable for a wide range of computer security tasks.
You can prevent other users of your computer from looking at your personal files. You can protect system files and folders from destruction by cyber-vandals. You can allow specific users to run a program while denying it to others. You can allow users to store their documents on removable drives, preventing them from using unauthorized programs on those drives. For example:
- Lock files and folders with passwords
- Hide folders from prying eyes
- Restrict access to Control Panel and other resources
- Restrict Internet Explorer from downloading programs from the Internet
Folder Guard protects your files without encrypting them.
There is no risk of losing your documents if you lose your encryption key: with Folder Guard all your files remain intact, without modification of any kind.
Folder Guard can operate in "stealth mode".
You can configure Folder Guard to work in stealth mode, to hide your own files and shortcuts so that other users cannot see them.
Folder Guard supports easy recovery in an emergency.
If you forget your password or experience other problems, simply use the Emergency Recovery Utility (free download) to quickly restore access to your protected folder.
Folder Guard works with drives of any format.
If your computer can handle it, Folder Guard can protect you. Unlike Windows, which can only provide access control for NTFS drives, Folder Guard can protect files and folders on any file system supported by your computer, including NTFS, exFAT, and FAT / FAT32.
Folder Guard is flexible.
Although Windows allows you to restrict access to folders located on NTFS drives, you cannot hide them. With Folder Guard, you can not only restrict access, but also hide folders or make them look empty. Unlike Windows, Folder Guard allows you to protect only a few files within a folder and keep the rest of the files visible and accessible if you want. Or, you can protect files and folders, each with their own individual password, and then unlock them separately (Windows can't do that).
Folder Guard can be used with other disk tools.
You can designate your antivirus and other disk maintenance tools to be "trusted" programs, so that they can work with your protected disks without restrictions.
