Protect My Folders is an easy to use software solution that can help users make their folders and their contents inaccessible or invisible.

The application is very easy to use or configure and features a neat, intuitive interface.

Installing the application is a very simple and straightforward process. Users can simply run the installer and let it take its course.

After the installation is complete, the application prompts users for a password. Keeping this password safe is important, as folders cannot be unlocked and the application cannot be uninstalled without it.

After this step is complete, users are met with the application's main window. It features a list of locked folders or files and four buttons which provide access to the application's main functions.

In order to lock folders or files, one can simply drag and drop them into the main window of the application. Users can then select the item from the list and click Lock or Unlock to perform these actions respectively. Files or folders can also be added by navigating to their address or location, but this feels significantly more cumbersome than the previous method.

The result of locking a folder is that, depending on the program's settings, the folder in question will become invisible or inaccessible to any user, until it is unlocked.

This piece of software features a small number of settings, but this does not hamper its functionality.Unsurprisingly, they can be accessed by clicking the Settings button from the application's main window.

The General tab contains settings related to how the application protects one's files. Users can toggle between three protection modes. These are hide, no access and read only. Read only and no access cannot be selected at the same time.

The program can also be configured to prevent access to protected files when the system boots in Safe Mode.

This is an easy to use and intuitive software solution that can easily help users hide and protect their files.
