How to hide and password lock a folder

Everyone of us has some confidential files that can not share with other people, maybe they are some private family photos or maybe they are some business secrets. Windows has the function to hide a folder and make it invisible on the window, however, it is easy to visualize those folders in a computer, cause they are just hide it with a very low strength of security and your files are easily invaded or embezzled by some bad guy.

Therefore you can achieve the goal of password protecting a folder and hide it from others with the help of some reliable programs. I find Advanced Folder Encryption is a good choice of this kind, as far as I tested it by myself. It just locks important folders with password protection and offers you completely peace of mind.

2. Here pops- up a main window of Advanced Folder Encryption, then find the folder you want to hide and lock to the blank area of the main window according to the reminding.

3. Then put in and confirm the pass word you choose in the “Encryption” window, and then you can select a security strength level according to your own need. In “Options” menu tick the “Hidden” option. Then click “Encrypt”.
