If I say this is one of the best folder/file lockers in the world, I'll not be wrong. Hiding files and folders is just unbeatable. You can choose various options like you can make file/folder visible but not accessible and more.

This software installs itself with a password already in place. It will not let you access the software nor uninstall it because, obviously, you don't have a password you never set in the first place. This is beyond trash. This needs to be removed immediately.

I've used this app for many years and recently upgraded from Windows 10 to 11 to learn this app no longer worked. The last release of this app, Version 2.2, does not work on Windows 11 (x64). Until I discovered... You can still download and install an older release - version 1.5 (64-bit) it truly works great! I love this app for its ease of locking files and folders from accidental deletion. I don't care that its not the latest, but one that come out back in 2014. Amazing!

The authors website is no longer available but fortunately I found that it's archived on WayBackMachine where you can download it here https://web.archive.org/web/20180126100105/http://xoslab.com/download/EFL1.5_Setup.exe

From the programs website:

I forgot my password, can i get the protected files back?

Yes, please start your computer into Windows Safe Mode, then all the protected files will be visible and accessible.

no mean't for strong and ongoing protection. I personally use as a temporary read/write I/O barrier

There's a 64-bit version. Working fine for me in Win 7 so far. Exactly what I was looking for.

Simple interface. Quick install. Tiny file. Does what it says it'll do. Free. Hard to beat that.

If you're running 64-bit OS you'll get this message: "Your OS cannot support this software"
