Hide Confidential Data in Your Windows System by Using Hide Folders

Similar to “1 Second Folder Encrypt”, a freeware that protects your files and folders form being accessed by others, there is another free utility called “Hide Folders v2.2” which preserves the files and folders in your PC by making them invisible so that no one knows that they even exist. This tool is quite useful if you happen to share your PC with other users.

Hide Folders v2.2 eventually safeguards your confidential data from being accessed without your consent. Using this application is undeniably a better way of hiding you confidential data rather than locking it, which is likely to catch somebody’s attention and tempt him/her to hack it out of curiosity.

Hide Folders is extremely easy to use. You need to download the utility from the internet and install it. Simply launch it and add the folders that you wish to make invisible or hide.  Anytime in future, if you wish to make these hidden folders visible to everyone, you may highlight the folders and click on the button “Remove”.

You need to make sure that no one else can access “Hide Folders” utility and identify the folders that have been hidden. To take care of this issue, you have an option of setting up a protection password. You may easily download this freeware from Here.
