Hide Files and Folders is a great easy-to-use password-protected security utility. It works at the Windows kernel level so you can password-protect certain files and folders, or hide them securely from viewing and searching, with a simple click of mouse.
     Once this is installed, if anyone tries to access any protected file or folder a dialog box querying password appears on the screen. You get to access to the file or folder after you enter the correct password. Hide Files and Folders does not modify your media: in protecting your files or folders, it just uses a high-reliability VXD driver working at Windows kernel level. This guarantees that Hide Files and Folders will never lose your data, as may happen if you use other file- and folder-protecting software. Also, with the unique technology, the program also lets you protect system files and folders such as the Windows System, Registry and Swap files.
     Even though it uses complex technology it is very easy to use.
