Folder Guard is a powerful computer security software tool that you can use to hide your private files and folders from other users of your computer, lock folders and files with passwords, restrict access to Control Panel, protect system files from damage (intentional or not), and to control access to other Windows resources.

With FolderGuard you can hide any folder or file and it will be invisible to Windows applications, Office and even for MS-DOS programs. Or, you can lock your private folder with a password, so that only you would be able to open the files and documents it contains. You can use Folder Guard to restrict access to the whole classes of files: for instance, you can specify that no user should be able to open any JPG image file unless you have authorized him or her to do so. You can restrict access to the floppy and CD-ROM drives, to Windows Control Panel, stop users from downloading programs from the Internet, prevent users from viewing images on their computers, and more.
