Dark Files can help you keep your files protected. You can choose who gets access to what files on your computer. This program provides three levels of protection to suit any user : "Hidden", "Read Only", "Full Control". It works with any Windows platforms : 9.x/ME/NT/2000/XP . Dark Files can work with Network folders and fully supports protection of removable media (such as floppies, CD Roms, DVD, ZIP and some SCSI and RAID drives) on all platforms. This easy-to-use program allows you to protect your files and folders (including subdirectories) in various ways. You can hide them or prevent others from deleting, renaming, executing, or modifying your files in any way. The Wildcard feature allows you to specify which files you want to protect (for example, all EXE or DLL files). The file system protection works independently of the program , so if you even close the program the file protection will still work. Built-in support for multiple user interface allows you to use Dark Files without any change on multi user systems. You can define own settings for each user separately or just define settings for the "Guests group" . If your computer is configured for using by multiple users you can define the list of protected folders separately for each user. If some user has not got own settings the program will apply settings of the "Guests group" to that user.
If you are looking for a solid file protection program, look no further.

Dark Files provides means to keep your files protected. You can choose who gets access to what files on your computer. This program provides three levels of protection to suit any user; "Hidden", "Read Only", "Full Control".
Pros: Dark Files is an application that adds protection to files/folders in a system. Three levels of protection are possible. These are designating the files totally hidden. In that case except for the administrator no other user can even see the designated files. Read only designation disable writing to the file, deleting or any other means of modifying them. Full control will allow all the operations. This is possible not only a folder but all the sub folders and files included in it. Yu could do it individually too of course. Wild cards allow adding these protections to a specific type of files such as *.doc for example. The protection applies not only to data files but also to program files. Protection settings in Dark Files apply uniformly to all kinds of drives including the system drives, network drives mapped to the system and removable drives.
These settings can be done for each of the users of the system. Default set of protection can be set by defining user groups. When a user is not in the main user profiles, the guest protection settings apply. Protections work independently of the programs using the particular file, it’ll hold even when the program has been closed.
Cons: Protecting files as hidden, read only or full control on removable media through this program may not be useful. The control possibly would work on similar platforms, basically all windows versions. Unless data is encrypted there can be no real protection. How does the protection work on other platforms! Biggest concerns of protecting data are about removable media in any system anyway.
I wonder how many personal systems are used by more than one person, may be two. Would such elaborate arrangement make sense now!
Overall rating is 3 stars.
