Hide Folders XP Review
Hide Folders XP is a free application software download for Windows, which can hide folders and files and protect them from being accessed by other users. It is easy to use and allows you to protect an unlimited number of files and folders, and also block access to them by a password.
The hidden folders and files cannot be accessed by any other user, even for the administrators. You can hide them with just a few mouse clicks and they will never be seen by anyone else.
You can set all the files and folders you want to hide as hidden using the built-in settings available in Microsoft Windows or by changing the NTFS permissions of the folders or files you want to hide. This method is very convenient and can be used by all Windows users, including those without administrative rights, because this setting is immediate, and it will take effect as soon as you make your choice in the properties dialog of a file or folder.
Another way to make a file or folder invisible is by using the Windows Command Prompt. This is the easiest and most secure way to hide a file or folder, since it uses a Windows function to change some of the attributes of a file or folder.
This method may be used for a variety of purposes, but it does not provide 100% data security. In order to truly secure your data, you need to use a virtual encrypted disk tool. These tools can hide a file or folder from other operating systems, like a USB flash drive or portable HDD plugged into your PC.
