horus Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Hi,I need an application that can keep my folders hidden from indiscrete eyes(Win Explorer, Searches, etc), but certain applications still to have access to them(for example, emule's download folder, or utorrent's download folder). Something like Windows's hidden folders functionality but with a "better locking mechanism". Anyone can unhide folders pretty easily in Windows, and also, it can include hidden locations when searching,and for me, that's a no no. I don't want to lock/encrypt the folders, I just want to make them invisible.Do you know such an application?Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gamehead200 Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 Give this a try: http://cleanersoft.com/hidefolder/free_hide_folder.htm (Short review here: http://lifehacker.com/249289/download-of-t...olders-windows) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pksw Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 I know you don't want to encrypt them, but TrueCrypt would be perfect for this. The folders are hidden unless they are mounted. It's free to try, being open source. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaclaz Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 (edited) Do you know such an application?NOT what you aslked, but maybe this:http://www.msfn.org/board/win-nt-bt-can-omitted-t131103.htmlhttp://www.msfn.org/board/win-nt-bt-can-om...03-page-11.htmlmight be of interest to you (malformed names), it could solve partially some of your problems. jaclaz Edited August 30, 2009 by jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indianarchie Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Folder Guard should do the job. It hides and locks folders without encrypting them.http://www.winability.com/folderguard/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
