[@TK] more stupidity… it does not retain registration state demanding the license key at every program launch! It is also NOT portable as it saves the list of items pseudo-hidden in a json file in the WRONG place in the users C:\users\[USERNAME]\data.json
That is the wrong place to store program specific data, especially for a so called portable program… they should be stored in the portable programs folder hierarchy not in a location that could conflict with other badly written programs files. If they wanted to store program specific data ON each host systems according to the logged in user they should choose a path like

C:\users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\File Hider Pro\data.json

But even then having a plain text .json file with the hidden paths tells a nosey person exactly where to look for the pseudo-hidden files. pseudo-hiding files like this does not protect them from deletion when the parent folder is deleted too.
