Want to prevent nosy co-workers from messing with your files? Is your family constantly making a mess of your private folders?

If the answer is "yes", then FolderGuard is for you. It allows you to hide (in other words, make invisible) an unlimited amount of folders. 

The program itself is password protected. As soon as you start up the program, the Setup assistant will launch and prompt you for an "Owner" or "Administrator" password. You must enter a password, otherwise FolderGuard2 will not operate.

When you launch FolderGuard2 after setting a password, you can access the program with the username Administrator and the password you set earlier, or you can use a custom username and password (see chapter one).

__________________________
Please read this document from start to finish. Since FolderGuard is a security tool, it is very important that you know everything there is to know about it. Especially note the NOTE and WARNING messages in the Instructions section of this document, and the "Recovering Missing Folders" chapter on the "Basic Instructions" page.
