Description:
Folder Guard® is a powerful computer security program that you can use to control access to files, folders, and other Windows resources. 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 choose Folder Guard?
Folder Guard can hide your personal folders from other users
You can set up 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 programs, 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 knowing the password. You can set up Folder Guard to allow only certain users to change the computer settings with Control Panel, while denying that to other users.
Folder Guard can control access to programs and files
You can prevent other users (even the administrators) from using the system tools that can mess up your Windows installation, while allow such use for yourself or someone who knows the Master password. You can also designate the backup programs as the trusted ones, allowing them to backup your protected files in the background without asking you for the password every time.
Folder Guard can lock access to the USB, CD-ROM and other removable drives
You can configure Folder Guard to allow or deny access to the removable drives, restricting the user's ability to run or install unauthorized programs on your computer.
Whats New:
This update offers several improvements and corrections:
Each password-protected folder can now have an unlimited number of different passwords. (Previously, the limit was 4 passwords per folder.)
A new command, Lock all unlocked shared folders, has been added to the right-click menu of the notification icon of Folder Guard.
The text of the command Locked all unlocked folders on the main prompt of Folder Guard has been changed to Lock all folders I've unlocked to better reflect the scope of this command.
A problem has been corrected that in some situations, when unlocking a shared folder from another computer, caused Folder Guard to report that protection was not enabled on the remote computer. |
