LocK A FoLdeR is a straightforward Windows program that enables users to lock folders on their computer. It is a convenient tool for people who wish to hide the contents of a specific directory from the prying eyes of others. It requires very little system memory, so this package may be used even on slower operating systems.

Main functions and uses

The primary goal of this software is to create encrypted files that can only be accessed by specifying the user-generated master password. The procedure itself is quite simple. First, you need to select the folder you want to lock. Then, you can input the password. If you want to create a strong combination, you may use special utilities like Password Renew.

Once it is entered and confirmed, the chosen directory will be locked. It will also disappear from your desktop. In order to access it again, you will be required to launch the utility and input the same password.

Advanced options

It is also possible to hide an unlimited number of files. What is more, different passwords may be selected for each individual file or you can set a single password for unlocking the entire group. In addition, you are able to enter the recovery email and hints, in case you forget your passphrase.
