By default, hidden files and folders will not be visible unless you are logged into your Wise Folder Hider Beta account, but you also have the option of increasing security further by adding a password. All you need to do is launch the program and you can then either select the option to hide files or folders before navigating to the relevant place on your hard drive, or you can drag files and folders onto the program window. The process of hiding files and folders is very simple. This is something that can already be addressed to some extent by setting yourself up with a password protected user account within Windows, but this is an app that goes further, offering you the peace of mind that comes from having an extra layer of security in place. What can’t be seen can be snooped at and, perhaps more importantly, can’t be accidentally, or purposefully, deleted. You might wonder just what the point of hiding files and folders is. As the name suggests, the program makes it possible to hide folders from view, but the same option can also be applied to individual files and even USB drives.

Whether you are concern about your personal documents being accessed by other people who have access to your computer, or you are worried that your children might delete files relating to your next big project, Wise Folder Hider is an app that could help you.
