Hide Files and Folders is an easy-to-use security utility working at Windows kernel level that you can use to password-protect certain files and folders, or to hide them securely from viewing and searching just with a click of mouse. Upon accessing any protected file or folder, a dialog box appears requesting the password. If a valid password is entered, the user gets access to the file or folder, otherwise not.

Hide Files and Folders does not modify your media in protecting your files or folders, it just uses a high-reliability VXD driver working at Windows kernel level. This guarantees that Hide Files and Folders will never lose your data, as may happen if you use other file- and folder-protecting software. Due to unique technology, the program also lets you protect system files and folders such as the Windows System, Registry and Swap files.

This software has been thoroughly scanned by our advanced security systems and verified by industry-leading partners. However, one or more antivirus engines have flagged this software with potential risks. While these detections may be false positives, we recommend caution when downloading and installing. Some programs may include unwanted software or behaviors that could affect your device. False positives can occur when safe software is mistakenly flagged as harmful due to overly cautious detection rules or algorithms in antivirus tools. This means the program may still be safe to use, but we advise reviewing the details before proceeding.
