Hide your files from other users
Do you share your PC with other users? Maybe they're nosy, or you've got files you don't want to share. My Lockbox is a great little solution for the user who wants to keep some files away from prying eyes.After installation, a destination folder is chosen to be locked, and a password must be given, along with a reminder question. It's then necessary to restart Windows. Once done, there is a My Lockbox icon, which when double clicked prompts you for the password, which in turn gives access to the destination folder.Adding files to your locked folder is the same as with any folder, but when you 'lock' it, it will disappear. The locked folder is only visible when My Lockbox is open and unlocked.My Lockbox is not serious security, as it does not encrypt files, but for average desktop users, it provides a solid privacy service. However, if government agents come knocking, looking for those secret extra terrestrial files you stole, you will be in trouble, and should have used an proper encryption application.As well as basic configuration tools, there are a range of skins to choose from on My Lockbox, so My Lockbox fits nicely on your desktop. It's a breeze to set up, and as long as you don't forget your password, your documents won't get lost.My Lockbox is ideal for users who want to obscure files from their irritating brothers or sisters etc, but won't protect you from serious hackers!

Prima programma.
In de freeware versie kun je een map met een wachtwoord beveiligen en in de Pro versie kun je alle mappen beveiligen. Download en installatie verloopt goed, pas alleen bij het tweede of derde scherm op. Als je daar drie opties niet uitvinkt ontvang je een extra toolbar en wordt je start- en zoeksite aangepast.
Na de installatie stel je een wachtwoord in en selecteer je de map die je wilt beveiligen en klaar is kees. Daarna kun je via een simpel engelstalig menu en gebruik makend van je wachtwoord de map openen, zaken bekijken, toevoegen of anderzins aanpassen. Lock de map weer en het is klaar.
Conclusie: Prettig en eenvoudig werkend programma, aanrader dus Meer
