My Lockbox - protect files & folders with password and hide them
Post by Voex | Date: 2009-04-06
My Lockbox is a free security software that can quickly hide and password protect a folder and all files/folders within it. The protected folder is hidden from any user and application of your system, including Administrator and System itself. It is impossible to access the protected folder not only from the local computer, but also from the net. My Lockbox maintain its protection even under safe mode. Here is a list of notes on this program:
- Performance: hides and password protects a folder on your machine instantly. Can be invoked using a keyboard shortcut (CTRL-Shift-P by default). No need to create hard disk partitions and /or allocate space for virtual volumes.
- Folder sizes: the size of your hidden files does not appear in the parent folder.
- Tray icon: once your folder is unlocked, a little "My Lockbox" icon in the tray menu gives quick access to the program. If you do not want this icon to be showing you can hide it.
- Start menu shortcuts: creates start menu shortcuts by default. Remove them manually if you do not want them there.
- Safe mode: booting into safe mode does not reveal your hidden folder, which remains hidden just as when booting under the normal Windows environment. Note: you have to check "protect in safe mode" in the settings.
- No USB protection: this program is not geared towards hiding files on a USB drive. Try TrueCrypt instead.
- Two ways that your files can be revealed: I was able to view and copy the files by booting into DOS using a recovery disk. Moreover, there are some utilities which can reveal hidden files and folders and will instantly see your hidden folder and files. In both cases, however, the potential snoop has to know there's something there to look for or have special tools at their disposal.
