• Very Poor Program, Dreadful Support

  mjfitzMarch 29, 2007

  Pros

  None

  Cons

  In my opinion the software does not do what it claims. I bought two copies in case the free download was restricted, it wasn't, the program only works on a single pc, not across a local peer to peer network as they claim it will. I have now sent two seperate emails to their support desk asking for help and offering to pay for this support, these have not even been acknowleged. Very, very poor!

• It's just an interface for cacls

  david_01December 10, 2005

  Pros

  It works, kind of... This program merely provides a windows interface for the command-line cacls program that is shipped with XP Home, and it succeeds in this task.

  Cons

  There is no XP-Pro equivalent allowing you to make a folder inaccessible to ALL other users (eg. like you can with "My Documents" in XP Home). I applied "deny" access to all other users and then hacked around it by creating a new admin user. And don't tell me to make all of my family into restricted users because then they can't run their games or the virus protection that I use. <p> <p>There may be a way around this, other than setting specific users, but you are presented with various groups etc and things like "NT AUTHORITY" entities which would be confusing to most people. <p> <p>I may be a bit unkind to the makers here... this type of security may not be possible under XP Home at all. <p> <p>I guess there is a program that handles security properly - it's called XP Professional but it costs a fair bit more!

• It is unique tool for Win XP Home

  Pros

  It is not like ordinary utilities - disk, tweakers, managers etc. there are a lot of such tools but there are no programs like File Security Manager!

  Cons
