Snoop-proof your files with Folder Guard 7.0
by Anonymous

Rockville, UT August 4, 2004 -- WinAbility Software Corporation has released Folder Guard version 7.0, a Windows security program which you can use to hide or restrict access to your files and folders that contain sensitive information. With Folder Guard, you can make folders invisible or read-only, control access to system and program files, or restrict access to Desktop folders, Start Menu and Control Panel commands, on your stand-alone or networked computer.

Windows XP (and Windows 2000/NT) allows you to use its built-in security to control access to data stored on the NTFS volumes. With Folder Guard, you can secure files and folders on both the NTFS and FAT/FAT32 drives, with a greater flexibility: you can hide some files and keep other files in the same folder visible, set up the access rights using the wildcards, or make files accessible to only some programs and not accessible to the rest of the applications. If your version of Windows does not support file security (such as Windows 95, 98, and Me), you can use Folder Guard to keep your important files and documents protected from unathorized use.

When Folder Guard hides a folder, the folder's contents becomes invisible to all applications including Windows programs like Explorer, applications like Office, and even MS-DOS programs. You can require password access to the protected folders to keep away unauthorized visitors. On a user-by-user basis, you can allow or deny access to the files and folders of your choice, as well as to Windows Desktop, Start Menu and Control Panel. Folder Guard protects your files by intercepting requests from other programs to work with your files; your data is not encrypted or modified in any way. Both stand-alone and networked computers may be protected with Folder Guard.

Whether you're worried about coworkers gaining unauthorized access to your documents, or your kids messing up your work files, Folder Guard is a software-only solution to your security needs.

Folder Guard 7.0 is available in XP, Classic, and Professional Editions. The XP Edition is for Windows XP and later versions of Windows and is also backward compatible with Windows 2000. The Classic Edition is for Windows 98, 98SE, and ME. The Professional Edition runs under Windows XP/2000/Me/98/98SE.

Folder Guard XP and Classic editions may be purchased for $39.95 each, and Folder Guard Professional Edition can be purchased for $59.95 online at http://www.winability.com. Site licenses and volume discounts are available.
