If you don't want other people to stick their noses in your private folders, then you should definitely get some sort of security application. A good solution, which doesn't cost any time, effort or money, is EG Folder Lock. As the name implies, the application can be used to lock folders and prevent anyone from accessing their contents. Its highly responsive controls and fast processing speed makes it ideal for protecting data in a hurry.

The application is offered completely free of charge and it runs on all modern Windows versions, without any compatibility issues. Its setup package is small and you can install its components in just a few seconds. If you have the latest Visual C++ packages installed, you won't need to meet any other requirements.

When you start EG Folder Lock for the first time, you will have to create a master password. You won't be able to access the application's main functions without this password. Once you are logged in, you will be greeted by a compact user interface, with a few simple options, for targeting a folder and, of course, for locking and unlocking that folder.

Protecting a folder can't be any easier. All you have to do is target one through a standard browsing option and click the "Lock" button. Your folder will be locked instantly and its icon will be replaced with a lock. If you try to double click the folder, nothing will happen. Deleting it won't work either and if you open its Properties window, all information will be gone.

Unlocking a folders is just as simple and fast. Just select the folder and click an "Unlock" button. The best part is that there is nothing else that needs to be done. Locking and unlocking folders is done immediately and you don't have to provide your password each time.

A simple, straightforward and no-nonsense solution for protecting data is exactly what you can expect from EG Folder Lock.

Pros

You can lock and unlock folders instantly. The application asks you for your password only when you open its interface and not when you lock and unlock data. It works fast, it is easy to use and it is absolutely free.

Cons

There are no obvious drawbacks to point out.
