If you have private or sensitive data which you don’t want others to look at, you may want to lock the folder in windows with Folder Lock software which locks the folder of your choice and it can only be opened with the password set by you.

Folder Lock is a very popular program (I am not surprised, as we all have our secrets!) as it has been downloaded over a million times just from download.com and if we include the main site download, the total downloads for folder lock can easily be in excess of 3 million!

Folder Lock is pretty straight forward, you install the software and set a Master password so only people who knows it can use the program. Now whichever folder you want to lock it, just right click on it and Lock it. From now on, whenever you double click on the folder, it will ask for password.

These folders will remain password protected on different machines too provided they too have folder lock installed. Infact Folder lock not only locks folders, it also locks files, partitions, CD and DVD as well as flash drives.

Folder lock is an award winning software and looking at the site, it does have high profile clients even though its primary target is individual clients. You can download Folder lock from the main site or from download.com. You can try it 35 times and after that you have to buy it for $40.
