NB: On the program start-up you need to set a password to protect your hidden folder/file.Please, save the password you set, in case you forget it, the giveaway version doesn't have the function of getting it back automatically and for free!Wise Folder Hider Pro can hide files and folders on local partitions or removable devices. The files will be hidden safely due to advanced encryption algorithm. You can set a password for it so that the hidden data can be displayed and unhidden only by entering the valid password. The data is completely invisible to other programs or on other operating system, so it is much more reliable. Compaired to other folder hiders, Wise Folder Hider Pro is more secure and convenient for users to modify protected files. Moreover, the interface of Wise Folder Hider Pro is very intuitive. Even a first timer can get the hang of it in a minute.NB:6-month license, supports upgrading.

May 03, 2019 Hide.me VPN 2.2.3 Crack Full Version + Premium Free Download 2019. Hide.me VPN 2.2.3 Crack allows hiding your internet identity and browse without identity. It provides you with a complete security package and saves you from the hackers.
#11Installed fine on Windows 10 64bit. The free version hides individual files or folders.
After doing so, changing the options in explorer such as to show hidden files or using another program did not make it appear. You can also set a different password for each file or folder you hide, so just getting into the program wont automatically make every file available, and the files dont automatically unhide when opening the program itself unless you click on them. When you close the main program after using the file or program it puts them all to hidden mode.
As far as the paid side, a separate menu option lets you easily create an encrypted volume with or without another password and mounts as a drive letter, which you then can add files or folders to it and will unmount with an exit of the program so thats easy. It did not delete the volume when I deleted it from the program. It does not allow you to rename the file to have a different extension to be more obscure, so its currently going to have a wfhd extension which identifies the file.
It does not have any settings at all regarding the encryption nor info on the encryption used which needs to be improved for a paid program. I currently use the free Truecrypt 7.1a not 7.2 for encrypted volumes and that will open a renamed file such as mp3.cache as well as many options for the encryption. If you lose your password with the paid not giveaway program, it will email it to the email on file so if someone has access to your email, they can get into the program but not the files or folders you set another password to thats different.

The encrypted container file it creates for the virtual hard drive is not hidden.
When I added it to the hidden tab to also hide it, it then disappears from the encrypted tab list and would not return even when I made it visible, and could not be opened either as it says its in use by another process. And as mentioned you cant rename the file or open it after changing it with a renamed extension through explorer to make it less obvious what it is.
Hiding a file then showed up unfortunately in a search with cortana, but a program that had the file location saved when clicked now says its no longer in that location or has been renamed and didnt show in explorer or xyplorer even with show hidden files. The virtual hard drive feature is user friendly since you can mount easily and allows you to use the programs like its on any hard drive while remaining hidden otherwise, but I dont see how secure this may be as there is no info such as is the second password stored in the container or in the program, what type of encryption etc. Programs like this I agree should be a lifetime license, or at least until a major rewrite occurs adding some significant new features.
For now I'll be sticking to the less user friendly but more secure veracrypt or the older version truecrypt 7.1a. The encrypted container file it creates for the virtual hard drive is not hidden.

Windows, Linux etc.

can hide files/folders from some users, for example Windows hiding system files, but if you have the required privileges e.g. An Admin account, you can override such settings. Wise Folder Hider Pro & similar apps doesn't actually hide files/folders, but not unlike some root kits, tells Windows not to see or display them - they're still there, and only invisible to that copy of Windows with the file/folder hiding software installed.
That might well be perfectly OK - not everyone is going to suspect that there are hidden folders to look for, not everyone's going to have something like a bootable USB stick in their pocket, & if say the only working USB ports are on the back of a PC, someone crawling under a desk to reach them might be very noticeable.With Wise Folder Hider Pro you can also go a step further, creating & using what many companies call 'Safes', that are basically encrypted VHDs Virtual Hard Disks. From the product page: 'To encrypt files, you need to create an encrypted partitioned drive first, then drag and drop your files and folders to the encrypted drive.' When encrypted VHDs are mounted they act like a separate drive partition, where anything written to that partition is encrypted on-the-fly, and anything read or copied or moved is decrypted on-the-fly. And Wise Folder Hider Pro will hide those VHDs when using that copy of Windows.Mounting VHD's requires a driver, and telling Windows not to see certain files/folders is usually accomplished by using a driver, since drivers are automatically loaded whenever Windows starts. Drivers, like all other software, can have incompatibilities, and the fact that they're loaded when Windows starts can make incompatible drivers more of a problem than say a regular app, which you can just not run. When a new driver is added to Windows, Windows saves the old info - you can try to restore things using the Last Known Good option from the boot menu.
Setting a restore point prior to installing software that includes drivers is a good thing - performing a backup, even better.You can also use the open source VeraCrypt to create encrypted VHDs, and while they won't be hidden from view, you can create a 2nd encrypted.and hidden. VHD inside the outer, visible one. The free unused storage space in the outer VHD is filled with garbage data, completely masking the data making up the hidden inner VHD, the idea being that anyone gaining access to the outer VHD, whether by cracking the password or you being forced to hand it over etc., would have no idea that there's anything hidden inside, and no way to detect it either. You choose which VHD you want to mount open, inner or outer, by using the separate inner or outer VHD's password.

Xilolee, Yikes looking at the comparison matrix between Free and Pro editions only the Pro edition supports 'Encrypt files & folders' that implies only the Pro edition will allow access to Encrypted files & folders too in which case after 6 months if any participant in this 'giveaway' and choses to use the Pro only feature to 'Encrypt files & folders' they will stop being able to access those very same files and folders unless they pay to restore Pro features. Therefore giveaway participants should avoid using 'Encrypt files & folders' feature OR remove encryption protection BEFORE the six months trial Pro license expires unless they intend to go on to subscribe/buy the Pro license of unstated duration.I do note that elsewhere there is a warning that THIS Pro license does not include the facility for 'Automatic password recovery' so it's not even the FULL Pro License as well as being a 6 month trial of 'the' Pro license.
