Imagine having several important file and folders stored on your computer, but the PC is accessed by other people. In this situation, it may be really difficult to protect your personal data and hide it from curious eyes. But when installing the Hide Folders XP application, everything becomes simple. That's because Hide Folders XP allows you to protect and hide all your important files, in the easiest way possible. In this way, only you will have access to your data, no matter how many people access your computer.

After installing and launching the application, the user will only need to select the desired folder that should be protected. After the folders are added into the program's interface, one will be able to select the type of protection that should be applied to them, either lock or hide and lock. Hiding a folder will give you a higher protection level for your data.

An unlimited number of folders can be added to the program and the list can be exported to a file and imported later on, in case the program needs to be re-installed. By accessing the options section, the user can configure Hide Folders XP to start together with Windows and can also enable it to hide itself from the program list and wipe all the temporary files which are created when it is run, so that nobody will know that it's installed on your computer.

When the application is not used, the user can minimize it into the system tray, for not cluttering the desktop. What's more, the program's master password can be easily changed from the drop-down menu.

Pros

An unlimited number of folders can be added to the program's interface and each of them can have a specific level of protection, either lock or hide and lock. Besides that, the list of added folders can be saved to a file, for backup purposes. Furthermore, the program can run together with Windows and can wipe its tracks automatically, when it is closed.

Cons

There is no recovery option in situations when the user loses or forgets the master password. Besides that, the demo version doesn't allow changing the master password. Hide Folders XP allows you to easily hide and lock all your important folders, making them impossible to access by unauthorized users and keeping all your data safe.
