Purpose of the program

Easy File & Folder Protector is intended for controlling access to files and folders situated on local media of Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP at Windows kernel level. It enables you to deny access to certain files and folders, or to hide them securely from viewing and searching.  An easy-to-use user interface gives you a lot of abilities to allocate access to your files and folders between your users according to predefined schedules. It means that each user has his own list of allowed and disallowed files and folders within certain time periods. The program does not modify your media: in protecting your files, it just uses a high-reliability VXD driver working at Windows kernel level. This guarantees that !AppName will never lose your data, as may happen if you use other file- and folder-protecting software. Excellent on-line help is available.
