If you use a PC shared with other people, you probably would not let
anybody mess with your files. Magic Folders can be the program for you. It allows you to
make any directory (a k a folder), and likewise the files it contains, completely
invisible. You and only you, after inserting your password, will have the power to make it
visible. All you have to do is to highlight the folder(s) you need untouchable, push the
"Add" button and exit the program telling it to make them invisible. Magic
Folders accept up to 10 different accounts with 10 different passwords, each one with
different hidden folders. Among the utilities, the "AutoStart" option is
interesting. You can have the program automatically start whenever you boot the computer.
At this point you have two choices: either make it ask the password for maximum three
times and, if there is no match, shut down the computer or, if you are just a little
merciful, let the computer on but with all the folders invisible. And what if you forget
your password? No need to be worried, during the installation Magic folders creates a boot
disk, from which you will be always able to unhide your folders. The fact that the program
hides only directories and not single files can be disappointing but, believe me, it takes
really little time to create new directories in which move the files you want to hide. And
it's worth the time spent.
