Most locking apps are useless crap since they can be uninstalled easily. Note: In case you forget the password there is no way to access the files and folders since they will remain permanently locked. This is extremely useful since you won’t need to unlock all files and folders manually.Īn important question arises here, what if someone gets hold of this app? You can always password protect Easy File Locker app and make sure that you don’t forget it. To prevent the protection, hit the Stop Protection option or icon on the main window. As you can clearly see from the screenshot above, I have prevented the access, write, delete, and visibility of a folder. The information of every file and folder path are given next to them on the main window. If you don’t want anyone to have a look at your important files and folders, you can also choose to make them invisible along with options that prevent the files from being accessible. If you want to permanently lock it, uncheck all four options, otherwise you can always make a file accessible but not writable or deletable. There are four options given, Accessible, Writable, Deletable, and Visible. Hit Add(+ icon), select a file or folder that you want to lock, and choose the options. There are some utilities that do an awesome job in locking folders, some are great in locking files, but hardly would you come across a tool that does both. It is an all-in-one utility with minimalist user interface and is much easier to manage than most similar tools in this category. If you are looking for a complete utility to lock your confidential files and folders on Windows 7 or Windows Vista, your search should end here.
