Everyone has pictures, documents or files that they want to keep private. These days when you share a computer with other family members or co-workers, you have to worry about what they are looking at while you’re not around. With Windows operating system there really is no way to keep your files from being seen by anyone who wants to look at them.If you try to hide files or folders from people by placing them deep within directories, they can just use the search feature to find any file they want. Or if they run a search there is a chance that a hidden file might come up in that search. You need a way to secure your files and folders so that no one but yourself can access them. You need to be able to protect them to keep unwanted people out of the files.
