Free software to lock and protect files and folders hiding them and disabling modification, deletion or copying.

If you're not interested in sharing certain files or information with other people who use your computer, you may want some privacy. Easy File Locker is one tool which provides just that.

Lightweight and simple

The program itself is extremely small in size, but it is able to effectively lock and hide files you feed it behind a master password. It can deal with multiple files or entire directories.

Password protect entire directories or single files

You can set a password in the properties box. Once you add files to the program, you can select which features will be enabled like accessible, writable, deletable or visible.

The way Easy File Locker works is similar to the way a file manager would. It gives you full access if you enter the correct password, thereby allowing you control of the data it is hiding.

Easy File Locker is practical and lightweight and is an efficient way at protecting files and folders containing sensitive information. Uninstalling the program also requires a password, so don't lose it!

Easily secure data

Overall, Easy File Locker is a good program which offers some security.
