Softpedia Editor's Review for Folder Password Expert
|
Program to password protect folders.
Written by Elena Opris on December 27th, 2011
Folder Password Expert is a small tool that enables you to encrypt any folder on your computer.
This is exactly the kind of software you need to ensure the privacy of your information, in case you are sharing a computer with multiple users.
The user interface consists of a simple wizard in which you can select "Lock folders" to add one or more folders to the list (the "drag and drop" method is not supported).
Once you have set a password (optionally input a password hint), the respective folders will have a "restricted" icon and you can only unlock them by using Folder Password Expert.
The software consumes a very low amount of system resources and, although it is simple to use, it includes a well-drawn help file that contains tutorials, snapshots and guides on how to input a strong password.
Due to the fact that Folder Password Expert automatically integrates itself in the Windows context menu upon installation, it can easily be accessed. However, make sure to remember the password you have set and to backup your data because there is no way of retrieving the content found in that specific folder.
If you uninstall the application before unlocking your folders, you will not be able to access them by using any other third-party software. Despite the fact that the trial version of Folder Password Expert is limited (as you can see in the Product Description below), it is fully functional and you have plenty of time to test it.
The bottom line is that Folder Password Expert is an excellent tool for maintaining the security of your personal information and we recommend it to all users.

Folder Password Expert description
|
Here are some key features of "Folder Password Expert":
· Get secure data protection. The password is always required to open protected folders, even if your drive is plugged into another computer.
· Set a password for folders of your choice without moving the folders to any special folder locker.
· Protect folders on your USB drive, internal hard drive, memory card, flash drive, pen drive and network drive.
· Lock an unlimited number of folders in the full version of Folder Password Expert.
· Use different passwords for your folders.
· Avoid compromising your passwords. Unlike other utilities, Folder Password Expert does not allow malicious users to get your passwords from the program files or Windows registry. Professional programs such as Folder Password Expert never store user passwords. They use the password only to calculate the check sum (unique password ID), which cannot be used to get hands on the password but allows the program to check if the check sum of the new password entered is equal to the check sum stored in the locked folder.
Limitations:
· Protect only three folders
· The folder size must be less than 50MB
· 30 days trial
· Nag screen What's New in This Release: [ read full changelog ]
· Support for USB external and removable drives.
