What is Protected Folder
Password Folder is a program that is used to hide certain folders on your computer so that others do not know they exist. The program is available for download on Windows computers and is a great way to keep your personal information hidden when you share your computer with other people.
The program takes up very little space, and it is a quick download. Follow the onscreen windows to download and install the program in just minutes. Once the download is complete, a new window will pop up on your browser with basic information on how to use the software and the basic features that it offers.
You will be asked if you want to start Password Folder once it has finished installing. When you first open the program, you will need to create a password and select a security phrase to help you remember a forgotten password. You will need to log in with this password every time you access Password Folder.
Once you set up your password and security question, the program is very easy to use. Hiding and unhiding your files is almost instant, allowing you to protect your information in no time. To add files to the program, you simply drag and drop the folder or files into the designated place on the program's interface. You can also select for certain files by clicking on the search menu and going through your folders to find the correct files.
Once the files are in Password Folder, no one will be able to access the folder or even know it exists without access to your password. You will also be able to view and edit these files by signing into Password Folder and editing them without being removed from the program.
Password Folder also has options to prevent the protect files from being moved, deleted, modified, read or copied for additional protection. The application also has an Exclude list that prevents you from moving certain files into the program. Some files are necessary for a computer to run properly, and you can add files to the Exclude list in the settings menu.
