Folder Castle: A Security Tool to Hide and Encrypt Your Files and Folders

Every computer user wants a security mechanism to secure confidential information or to hide personal files/folders from other users.

Folder Castle 2.2 is a security tool that hides and encrypts your files and folders on the fly. Folder Castle can hide files and folders automatically when you log off, shut down the system, or switch to another user. It also enables you to change the hot keys to personal preferences.

Folder Castle provides two methods to keep computer files away from prying eyes. You can lock away files and folders, which literally gets confidential materials off the screen in a moment.

Or you can put files into a secure container called Secure Storage with on-the-fly AES-256 encryption. Secure Storage works in much the same way as an ordinary drive: it can be mounted or unmounted, defraged, checked for errors, formatted. Once the files are protected, they cannot be seen in Windows Explorer even if the computer is re-booted in Windows Safe Mode.

For more security, you can step into Stealth mode, which instantly hides the presence of Folder Castle itself. In addition, a password protection scheme ensures that only the user can restore access to the protected files as well as the control panel.

When you install this software, it asks for a master password which will be used whenever you'll try to use the software or change its preferences:

You can hide any file/folder by right-clicking on it and select the required option:

You can also hide them using the Explorer toolbar:

When a file/folder is hidden using Folder Castle and a user tries to access it, it shows following error message:

Its an excellent software. You can try it for 15 days before purchasing it. It costs $39.95
