7 Zip does a better job if you just want to password protect a file or folder. The only draw back to 7 Zip is that every time you want to open the file/folder you have to unzip it. Vera Cyrpt also comes to mind, but that’s a different beast altogether in that it creates containers/vaults. I’ve tried quite a few of these folder hiders/protected folder programs but programs such as Wiz Tree see right through them. Like TK, what happens after the 6 month “trial”? Thank you but no thank you. Cautionary Note: Many of the free folder hider programs are laden with viruses and the like. Before installing anything I suggest you use an online scanner such as Virus Total.
