Folder Lock

Review by Michael E. Callahan aka Dr. File Finder

Folder Lock, by NewSoftwares.net Inc. is a really slick utility for keeping your important data safe and secure. You can use the program to encrypt,hide and lock entire folders on your PC. The program has a very unique and modernistic interface that's very intuitive. It's also extremelyeasy-to-use and that makes it perfect for users with all levels ofcomputer experience. In fact, when the author of the program wrote menot long ago, asking what they could improve in the program, I told them that I didn't see anything that needed improving. That doesn't happen very often.

Folder Lock makes it easy to hide files so that no one else can access them. Keep important files away from your co-workers, children and others who might have access to your computer. I'm impressed with the fact that Folder Lock can work with all kinds of media and not just your computer hard disk. I tested it on my key chain hard drive, a floppy disk and even a CD. Another neat feature is that the protection actually follows the protected files. What does that mean? Well, itmeans that you can put a protected folder on something like a disk,transfer them to another PC, and the folder will still be protected.Pretty slick.

Folder Lock is the nicest program of its kind that I've looked at. It's easy-to-use, intuitive and rock solid in its function. It also has a variety of other options including a cool auto-lock feature, a stealth mode and an auto-shutdown option as well. I like the fact that the program is loaded with features, works with multiple media, and can even handle different file systems like NTFS and FAT32. So, if you have files that you'd like to keep safe you need to give this program a try. I recommend it highly! Very well done.
