Verdict: Pro-style protection that anyone can use.Why choose Folder Guard? Folder Guard can hide your personal folders from other users. Another limitation is that the software does then add a padlock symbol in Windows Explorer, which does give away that you've protected a folder and "got something to hide", though that's not going to be an issue for everyone. For example, it might have been a bit smoother if it was set up so you could just right-click on a folder rather than have to open it up. Oh, and it's not just 0-9 on each dial: you've got all the letters of the alphabet and some common symbols as well. To put that into context, it's a bit like having a combination lock that doesn't have the usual three or four dials, but rather 256. The complexity comes through the 256 bit encryption. It works not only on your main hard drive, but also on flash disks (such as USB memory sticks) and external hard drives. All you have to do is click on the KaKa icon in the folder you want to protect, add a password, and you're done. This is one of those pieces of software that only really does one thing, but it does it well and with very little fuss.
The contrast here is between simplicity and complexity: the simplicity for you and the complexity for anyone trying to break into your files. Sometimes it's the contrast that makes something work, and that's the case with KaKa Folder Protector.
