Folder Vault is a Windows application that lets users securely hide, lock, and encrypt their folders and files.

Using a single password, Folder Vault is able to hide all of the files within an entire directory tree. Even drives can be locked from view, allowing users to rename or remove them at all.

Under Stealth mode, it's possible to run a program hidden from other users or malicious viewers. Many users employ the software to block access to applications that contain sensitive, private data.

The lightweight application is ideal for use with email applications like Microsoft Outlook. Internet explorer favorites folders can be locked from view as well, making it easy to hide your internet activity from potential attackers.

Users appreciate the ability to assign hotkey combination that un-encrypt files and folders for daily use. The application is free to download and use, functioning on all Windows versions starting from XP.
