Ok, what if you have to re-install windows? Your filesystem will be a mix of encypted/not-enc.., it will be a mess. Not saying that this software is like it but: most apps create the encrytion key when you install the software. Re-install would mean a different key... It would be better to keep your password safe.

OK so is is a useful app in the fact that it will lock the end file in your directory. BUT it will not lock any folder you have in that folder. So if you lock your my documents and know you have the folder in their called whatever. You could just type in the directory and go into that subsequent folder. Sure the files in your mydocuments is safe but it does not lock the folders underneath that.

Please help. I want to lock a folder. I don't know how to get the software because I can't get the video to play. How do I download and install it? I need to lock my nude pics as I don't want my husband to find them.
