Data privacy is a major concern for everybody these days and when it comes to protecting confidential files and documents, there is a little to no room for any compromise. Despite the major security enhancements with every new iteration of Window OS (and even intermittent updates), there can still be loopholes and having that extra layer of protection doesn’t hurt. So if you’re one of those who have their "personal computer" shared among other members in the house and occasionally find their important files messed up (well, most of the time), then it's time to step ahead and conceal them from unintended eyes. How? By simply using Hide Folders! This small tool is designed to let you protect your files/folders through a simple Hide and Unhide operation from within the application. The program itself is password protected, so no one but only you can use it. Let’s jump inside and see how it works. Read More

Securing files has reasons of its own. Nobody likes their confidential data to be easily compromised. Although Windows security parameters are getting tighter and tighter, loop-holes still remain. Sometimes, even our kids using the PC can unintentionally make various alteration to important files, without us even knowing. If you absolutely cannot give second chances to your important data being stolen, then its time to step ahead and lock it away though some extra layer of protection. Try WinMend Folder Hidden, a robust application that allows you to quickly hide your files and folders placed in local hard drives, remote locations, and removable memory devices. The files hidden through the application are not accessible through usual means, i.e. via the default Show Hidden Files option or any other third party solution. For instance, if you hide a folder in a USB drive using WinMend Folder Hidden, you will not be able to view it in any other computer that includes even your own computer, unless you unhide it with the application itself. If you install the application on another PC, you will need to enter the same password to access the hidden files that you may have assigned on the PC where the files were originally locked away.

HIddenDIR is a portable tool which allows hiding important folders to make them invisible from other people who may have access to a shared PC. You can password protect the HiddenDIR application to ensure that only you can unhide the folders to view them at your convenience. This can be quite helpful in hiding sensitive data to ensure that it is not accessed, accidentally deleted or altered by other people who use the same computer. The aforementioned problems often occur when other people require periodic access to the same computer (such as a child at home) and in offices where a computer is used by multiple employees (e.g. employees from different shifts). With HiddenDIR you can also hide documents on a USB or external drive to enjoy data protection and privacy on portable devices. Read More

When working on confidential content, it is necessary to keep it safe from prying eyes. This is particularly the case for individuals who work in sensitive divisions of an organizational unit (e.g. officials from the  Business Intelligence department of a company). Unfortunately, Windows does not provide any default feature to hide actively open files, folder and programs. This can however, be done with the help of Magic Boss Key which is a free application to instantly hide active program windows by using a hotkey. We are familiar with Win+M hotkey but this only minimizes the  open windows, not hides them. With Magic Boss Key, you can hide the browser, folder, and applications windows, as well as, all your desktop icons and taskbar. Items can also be excluded from the list of content to be hidden. This application can also be helpful for privacy cautious people and those who might be willing to hide some active applications from their boss. For example, lets say you are browsing through Facebook or playing a computer game at work. In the event that your boss suddenly arrives, the selected content can be easily hidden via a simple hotkey. Read More
