GrekSoft Easy Directory Locker

GrekSoft Easy Directory Locker is a lockdown software application whose purpose is to help you protect your folders from unauthorized viewing.

It comes in handy especially if you share your computer with multiple users and need to make sure no one can access your private information.

This is a portable program, so it is important to mention that it doesn’t leave any traces in the Windows Registry.

You can copy it on any USB flash drive or other devices, and take it with you whenever you to need to lock your directories on the breeze, without having to go through installation steps.

When run for the first time, the program asks you to set up a master password, which proves to be particularly useful if other users intend to change your current settings or uninstall the utility.

You are welcomed by a clean and simple layout that offers only a few configuration settings to tinker with. The folders that you want to encrypt can be added into the primary panel, using the built-in browse button, so you cannot rely on “drag and drop” support.

GrekSoft Easy Directory Locker denies access to other users for the locked folder. You may lock multiple folders and unlock them using only the function provided by the application, and change the password directly from the main window.

On the downside, the tool doesn’t create a list with the encrypted folders, so you need to remember the ones that you have added in the primary panel in order to carry out the unlocking process.

The directories are not concealed from your computer but remain actually visible. The only tweak it that you cannot open them and you are prompted with a message that informs you that you don’t have the permission to access this folder.

GrekSoft Easy Directory Locker proves to be a simple-to-use yet efficient application that helps you lock your folders on the fly.
