I don’t know why there are so many “Down” votes (79% when I’m writing this) with ZERO comments here. Regardless, I’ve been using v4.1 from a previous SOS giveaway of June 18, 2018 and have been satisfied with its performance. It does what it says it will and I’ve had no issues so far. I’ve just “upgraded” to today’s version and all went well (and fast!) with no problems – including this version updating my previous v4.1 and keeping all of my “hidden” files and folders in tact and carrying over my stored password to unlock those files/folders when needed.
However, be advised that today’s offering, shown on the description page as v4.7 is actually v5.1 which is Vovsoft’s most current version (May 23, 2019). Overall, I think Hide Files is a decent program for cloaking any files or folders you may have and want to hide.
Just my “two cents”
