Tool to Block Folders with Password & Unlock Folder Protection
Recommended Note ~ Folder Key
Make it a point, not to un-install SysTools Folder Key Software and not to change the locked folder location before unlocking the folder with the tool.
In order to protect information within folder(s), you can now lock them with a password. Apply desirable password on multiple folders in your machine and make it restricted. No one can operate the tool until they don't have the password. Only owner of a protected folder can unlock it by using the respective password.
The Folder Key tool provides dual options to make folders protected:
With this option you can add multiple folders one by one and provide a password for each of them. Click on block command and the software will lock all the folders. Once protection gets applied on the file, you won't be able to access it unless you don't unblock it.
In order to access locked or protected folders, you should have the passwords known. Launch the software and select the Folder unblocking option. The software will list all the folders protected by the tool. Click on unblock icon and all the folders get unlocked which can be verified from the status being displayed by the software.
Software encrypts all your ASCII (Text) passwords by wrapping them up with 32bit random number before making password entry to its database. Thus, even if somebody got access to the database file carrying passwords of your folders then, one cannot detect the password from encrypted hash.
In order to lock the folders and add password on multiple folders; the software provides you with an optional feature to set the same password. It will help you to apply and use the same password for every folder at once instead of putting each password one by one. You need to check or uncheck this option to enable or disable it respectively.

Locking up folders on my machine was somehow possible but to lock folders on an external media was not feasible as in order to unlock them I was supposed to have the respective tool with me. Thanks to this tiny yet extremely powerful Folder Key tool which I easily carry on my USB device.
