"Excellent For Protecting Your Private Files"
Pros
- Easy to use and very fast when locking/unlocking folders

- User interface window can't be re-sized
Summary
I've been using Folder Lock for years and this latest version makes everything much simpler and easy to use. You could always create multiple securely encrypted lockers to store different types of files but it was annoying not having an easy way to open them. In this version once you enter your master password you can see a list of all your lockers and simply click which one you wish to open.
If you don't want to encrypt everything you also have the option to temporarily hide certain folders so they can't be seen while someone is using your PC and then you can easily un-hide them with one click of the mouse later.
Highly recommended to anyone who needs to hide or secure any private files on their computer.
