"dont waste your time"
Version: Folder Latch 4
Pros
downloads fast
Cons
doesnt work like you want it to, and its too confusing for the "average joe"
Summary
I downloaded this program and disliked it because it was very confusing and when i locked a folder and made a password, it could not detect the password so pretty much the file was ruined. So if you try this, test it out on a "unimportant file" first.

"Don't download it."
Version: Folder Latch 4
Pros
Nothing. I doesn't work.
Cons
After you lock a folder, it doesn't recognize your password, and sometimes it closes in between locking, and you folder gets screwed up. I ended up locking some system file folders, and my whole operating system, which is vista didn't work any more.

"perfect program"
Version: Folder Latch 4
Pros
I was looking for free or cheap folder locker, after search I found this Folder Latch
From this site, I locked a folder and worked very well, second folder didn?t (locked my folder) couldn?t unlock it.
However, I emailed softpen, they suggested to download latest version from their website
And I did, from that day I have no problem and works great.
Looks some people they bother to visit soften and see if there is new version. Don?t blame the program, but yourself.
Cons
I liked every thing, free and works great, I didn?t like some people just have negative posts for someone try to help us for free.
