Hide files and folders on your PC

Hide folders and files

Do you have a friend who would not only use your computer but also look into various folders? And you have a file that you don't want others to know about. Now what?

WinMend Folder Hidden is a small Windows application that will quickly hide files and folders on your local drive or removable flash drives. Once hidden, these files and folders won't be visible even if the drive is accessed through a different computer or operating system. It can only be unhidden by the application. To make the files and folders available only to you, a password can be set for the application.


WinMend Folder Hidden is available as a free download for home use.

If you want a more secure solution, you may try TrueCrypt to create encrypted and hidden drives which can be mounted only after providing the requisite password. It creates a virtual drive that behaves like any other local drive but vanishes on being unmounted. The only trace left is a chunk of file that can be made to appear like a word document, image, movie or just anything by adding appropriate extention during creation of the encrypted disk space.
