Version: Folder Lock 5.9
"It does not work, and cust support evasive"
Pros: It has a cute GUI
Cons: The app was not doing what it advertised for me I performed exhaustive uninstalls and re-installs and booted at every step. My testing indicated that nothing was actually being locked. Folder lock was making files and folders hidden, which I could overcome by setting XP to view hidden files or follow the links left behind. I let customer support know this on Feb 23. They replied on Mar 1 saying "We would suggest you to install Folder Lock on another location, like C:\ or D:\Folder Lock\". I told them in my first note that I don't have a C:, but that I boot from my F:\. They go on to say: "Download the uninstaller.exe file which you can get from ........however, you are using Windows Vista...." I told them that I'm using XP Pro. You did not read my note or see any of my effort. You just sent me a form letter. Thanks for nothing! I replied to the non-helpful note, asking for either help, or my money back. I never got a reply. I've just sent another note to them asking for my money back. Does anyone know of a good way to lock up your files?
