Folder Protection is security software that lets you control access to your folders. Secure your documents to prevent people from viewing, printing, or altering them. You can protect folders located on your hard drive, as well as on external USB and removable drives. If the drive is connected to another PC, your folders still remain protected. Folder Protection is ideal for notebooks. Prevent confidential information from ending up in the wrong hands. A folder can be protected simply by right-clicking on it within Windows Explorer. Attempting to open the folder will bring up the Folder Protection password dialog. The protected folders cannot be copied or deleted while they are locked.
