What is Folder Password Lock Pro?

Folder Password Lock Pro

Folder Password Lock Pro is a handy security app you can use to keep your files, folders, and even entire drives safe when sharing your computer with others. It’s all about protecting your privacy! With this tool, you can set a master password and hide external disks or shared locations over a local network.

Getting Started with Folder Password Lock Pro

Once you install the app, it will ask you to create and confirm a master password. It's super important to remember this password because if you forget it, you won't be able to access any of the hidden items. The main window of the app is easy to navigate; everything is laid out nicely, and the buttons are pretty straightforward.

Hiding Your Files and Folders

You can easily hide files, folders, or even whole partitions just by selecting them. If you'd rather keep them visible but want to lock them up so no one else can access them? No problem! Other users will just see an "Access Denied" message if they try to open locked items.

Unlocking and Unhiding

The only way to unhide or unlock these items is through Folder Password Lock Pro. You simply pick what you want from the list and click the "Show" or "Unlock" button. It's that easy!

Monitoring Changes

You can also set up a directory for monitoring. This lets you track new, modified, renamed, or deleted files within that folder. Plus, there’s an option to export this info into a file. If you're feeling tech-savvy, advanced settings allow you to include files by name or type and manage notifications for various modifications like file size changes or security updates.

Extra Security Features

This software comes packed with extra features! You can use encryption for added security on files and folders (this is separate from your master key). There’s also a shredder function that permanently deletes items so they can't be recovered later—pretty cool right?

Customizing Your Experience

You’ve got options too! Change your master password anytime and add an email address for recovery help. Want self-protection? Activate features that kick in after too many wrong attempts at entering the master key. You can even create an exclusion list for files or folders that should stay protected while viewing software logs.

Your Data's Best Friend!

All in all, Folder Password Lock Pro is packed with features aimed at securing your important data through password protection, encryption, shredding, and monitoring activities. Just a heads-up: its interface might feel a bit outdated—like it was designed for Windows XP—but don’t let that stop you from keeping your data safe!
