Folder Guard Professional Edition 8.0

Folder Guard® is a powerful computer security software that you can use to control access to files, folders, and other Windows resources, such as Control Panel, Start Menu, and so on. You can use Folder Guard to lock your personal files and folders with passwords, to stop other users from peeking into your records. You can even completely hide your private folders from virtually all applications, and such folders would remain invisible until you enter a valid password. You can also protect sensitive system files from modification or destruction, disable access to the removable drives, restrict access to Control Panel, and more.
Why should you choose Folder Guard:
Folder Guard lets you password protect your files and folders.
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 lets you quickly enable or disable the protection via a “hot key”.
Although Windows lets you restrict access to folders located on a NTFS drives, it cannot hide them. With Folder Guard, you can not only restrict access to, but also hide folders, or make them look empty. Unlike Windows, Folder Guard lets you protect only some files within a folder, and keep the rest of the files visible and accessible, if you wish. Or, you can protect files and folders each with its own individual password, and then unlock them separately from each other (Windows cannot do that).
Folder Guard can be used with other disk tools.
You can designate your anti-virus and other disk maintenance tools to be the “trusted” programs, to make them able to work with your protected disks without restrictions.
Folder Guard is extensible.
You can fine-tune the access rules to the files and folders of your computer by creating appropriate filters.
Folder Guard will save you hours of learning time.
You don’t have to learn how to use the Group Policies, user groups, Access Control Lists, privileges, and other built-in security features of Windows, because Folder Guard does the hard work for you: its visual and intuitive user interface lets you manage the restrictions with ease.
Folder Guard is actively maintained.
Since its first release back in 1997, we’ve been continuously extending, enhancing, and improving Folder Guard. Now in version 8.0, Folder Guard gives you more power than ever.
