Conceal Folder

Conceal Folder is a lightweight application that enables you to secure the privacy of your folders by hiding them from users’ sight. The software enables you to set a password for locking or unlocking a specific directory, in order to restrict or grant access to it.

Lock and hide a folder

Conceal Folder offers a double protection for your private folders: by locking the folder, you enable its Hidden attribute, thus rendering it invisible for other users who try to access it. By entering the directory’s path in Windows Explorer, the system prompts a dialog box, notifying you that your access to the specified location is denied.
The second type of security is password protection. When opening the software for the first time, it prompts you to set a password, in order to restrict other users’ access to its interface. Once you have added folders to the processing list, the software requires the preset password every time you open it. This way, you are the only one who can lock or unlock a folder and restrict, respectively allow access to it.

Secure your folders with passwords

You can easily change the password that enables you to open Conceal Folder, from the File menu. Moreover, the software recommends that you set a hint, in case you forget the password. The actual access phrase does not encrypt the folders themselves, but it prevents you from opening the program and restoring the directories’ statuses to original.
Folders may be added or removed from the processing list with a simple click of the mouse. Similarly, their status can be modified from hidden to unhidden in a few seconds.

Conclusion

Conceal Folder is a useful application that allows you to render private folders unreachable to other users. It makes them invisible and inaccessible to other users, even restricts the access to its interface to anyone who does not know the password. This way, you can be sure no unauthorized person can open, or even view your private folders.
