Hide Files & Folders is a password-protected security utility working at the Windows kernel level. You can password-protect certain files and folders or hide them securely with a click of the mouse. Upon accessing any protected file or folder, a dialog box querying the password appears. Hide Files & Folders does not modify your media.This guarantees the program will never lose your data, as may happen if you use other file- and folder-protecting software. The program also lets you protect system files and folders, such as the Windows system, Registry, and swap files.

Version 2.8 may include unspecified updates, enhancements, or bug fixes.
