Folder Watch Dog is a security software that allows users to protect, hide, and limit access to their desired files and folders with password protection.
In addition to this, Folder Watch Dog allows you to protect your private data with passwords, enable quick lock or unlock your files and folders using the right button menu, and apply a read-only protection method that prevents modifications to files in the same folder. This method also prevents creating, deleting or renaming files or subfolders. The read-only attribute applies to all files and subfolders under that folder if assigned to it.
This efficient software tool supports various Windows operating systems like Windows 2000, XP, 2003 Server, and Vista. It also supports different file systems such as FAT, FAT32, and NTFS systems. You can easily start or stop protection by just one click, which makes it a handy tool to have at your disposal.
Other features of Folder Watch Dog include quick toggle protection utility, a powerful method to secure your files and folders, and enabling or disabling protected folders through a "hot key." You can select a specific keyboard combination as the hot key, which is password-protected to restrict access to others.
You can also set the software to operate in stealth mode to hide its files and shortcuts from other users but still have full control of it via the "hot key." In case you forget your password or experience other issues, the Recovery Forgot Password Utility can quickly restore access to your protected folder.
Folder Watch Dog provides file and folder protection without encrypting, moving, or modifying them. Hence, there is no risk of losing your files if you lose your encryption key. Thus, Folder Watch Dog ensures maximum protection and privacy without any modifications.
