Any Folder Password Lock

Locking a folder down might not be an operation that every Windows user had done or heard about, but it's incontestably useful, at least for individuals who share their or transfer data through not-so-secure mediums. obviously, to be able to secure directories, you'll need a dedicated software app, as online services for this type of job are not really abundant. Any Folder Password Lock is an intuitive tool that will not only help with locking folders but with hiding and disguising them as well.

Locking a folder is easy as pie. Just select the one you need to encrypt, choose a password, and decide if you want to hide it or keep it visible. That hiding part can be done from the dropdown menu that comes with the password panel.

Once locked, the folder's icon will be changed to the one Any Folder Password Lock sports. This is how you tell when a directory was successfully locked. Of course, this icon aspect doesn't apply to hidden folders.

The disguising feature strongly resembles the locking one, but with a slightly different touch. As it's probably obvious, disguising a folder means that its default icon will be changed. For now, you can disguise your folders as Recycle Bin, Printer, Network Dialing, or Network Neighborhood icons. Disguising will also require you to set up a password, so even if the directory is camouflaged, it will still be protected.

AS a small mention, the History button will take you to a panel where every directory you've locked/unlocked will be there, neatly listed, with date, status, and all. So if you are curious about the number of encrypted directories, switch to this panel.

Any Folder Password Lock looks like an excellent way to encrypt your files, hide or disguise them as other applications. The overall operation is far from being a challenge, as you can lock directories with just a couple of clicks and keystrokes.
