MySecretFolder 5.1.0.1597

MySecretFolder is a simple yet powerful software tool that hides a folder stored in your system and allows you to set a password to make the folder visible again. You can then move your important and private files to that folder to keep them away from unwanted access. The only way to recover the folder is by making it visible with MySecretFolder and the right password.

The first time you run the program, you are prompted to establish the initial settings and to define a protected folder ─ you can use an existing one or create a new one during the process. You also need to set the initial protection password. From now on, to access your protected folder you will need to open MySecretFolder and provide the right password. Note that, unlike other comparable tools, MySecretFolder only allows you to keep one protected folder at a time, so that you will need to move all your sensitive data to that unique folder for safety.

Finally, MySecretFolder offers you some helpful settings that you can tweak to increase the security level of you protected folder. For example, you can set the protection to stay active even when Windows is in "safe mode”, hide the program's icon from the taskbar, protect the password prompts from "password stealers", and clean the system histories automatically when re-locking the protected folder. MySecretFolder is even capable of checking for updates automatically.

In short, MySecretFolder will provide you with a reasonably good protection method to keep your sensitive files and folders hidden and out of other users’ reach.
