Folder Guard Professional
-
Version
7.5
Snoop-proof your files with Folder Guard. Folder
Guard is a Windows security program which you can use
to restrict access to files, folders, and other
computer resources. If you share your computer with
your business colleagues, family, or roommates, you
can use Folder Guard to stop other users from opening
your personal files, or even completely hide your
documents until a valid password is entered. You can
protect sensitive system files from modification or
destruction, disable access to the floppy, CD-ROM,
and other removable drives, restrict access to
Control Panel, Start Menu, applications, and more.
Windows XP (and Windows 2000/NT) allows you to use
its built-in security to control access to data
stored on the NTFS volumes. With Folder Guard you can
secure files and folders on both the NTFS and
FAT/FAT32 drives, with a much greater flexibility:
you can hide some files and keep other files in the
same folder visible, set up the access rights using
wildcards, or make files accessible to only some
programs that you select. If your version of Windows
does not support file security (such as Windows 98
and Me), you can use Folder Guard to keep your
important files and documents protected from
unauthorized use. Folder Guard protects your
documents by intercepting requests from other
programs to work with files; your data is not
modified in any way. When Folder Guard hides a
folder, the folder-s contents becomes invisible to
all applications including Windows programs like
Explorer, applications like Office, and even MS-DOS
programs. You can require password access to the
protected folders to keep away unauthorized visitors.
On a user-by-user basis, you can allow or deny access
to the files and folders of your choice, as well as
to the removable drives, Start Menu and Control
Panel. You can configure the protection so that users
would not be able to download programs from the
Internet or install them from the CD-ROM without your
permission.
