Hiding files is a security-related task that ensures your file privacy in case your computer is shared with one or more individuals. No matter what type of information you intend to keep away from prying eyes, encrypting, or hiding it always does the trick. IOGenie File Hider is a straightforward tool that lets you not only hide your files and folders but also lock them behind a password. In case you are going to only hiding the items, make sure the other users aren't using software that reveals hidden files.

Even if you decide to keep the icon on display, the application cannot be accessed without providing a password. Setting the combination up requires no effort. Once the application is done installing, you'll be prompted to create a password. After that, you need to use it to access the tool. Each time you close the app and relaunch it, that password must be typed in. this way, no stranger will have access to your application, unless you share that combination with them.

Hiding files is not the only thing you can do with IOGenie File Hider. You can easily add hefty folders to the list, and even contents from USB flash drives. Once an item is selected. Its status can be checked from within the preview windows. After you choose to hide, lock or encrypt and items, the status will be changed instantly.

To unhide files, you must select them and simply click unhide. The same goes for the locking aspect.

In the end, IOGenie File Hider is not a bad way to secure your data, especially if you share the machine with somebody else. Hiding and locking files comes with ease, as you only need to select the items and click on a couple of buttons. Still, as already mentioned, your hidden files can be easily resurfaced if a utility built for that is used. The best way to go about this is to keep the source folder into an inconspicuous location and opt-out of having desktop icon.
