Hidden files are good for organizing files, and helping to ensure critical files don’t get accidentally deleted.
Hiding them as a
security measure however, is pretty much useless. A few simple clicks in Windows is all one needs to view everything which you’ve hidden on your
system.
Free Hide Folder is a free tool which helps you REALLY hide everything, make it invisible, and secure it. You’ll even need to run the
program and enter a
password before you’re be able to even view those files.
What I also liked about it was that you could back up the hidden key (Not the data just the key) so you can
restore the data easily if something happens with your
system.
I wish you could
drag and drop files into the
program though rather than having to browse from the
program itself, but aside from that it’s a beautiful piece of
freeware.
