Folder locking/hiding software

I've used that before to learn it before installing for others, but I think all of those others didn't like it and I simply make them a zip folder with a password instead that they could move to where ever they wanted to hide it.

You can change the folder icon to a blank and most people have no idea what that is..

Or you could keep the secret folder on a thumb/flash drive and not on the computer

RegCure Locked up in scan mode

Q

Thanks, here's some updates done last night and this morning. But first, owbist, what is "WOT"... I'm an old guy and don't read some of the "text messaging" shorthand, or I'm an old guy and just forgot what I used to know WOT to mean. Yes, I'm running 64 bit. I think I will uninstall RegCure. After posting last night I did the necessary back up to an off line HDD, then I tried a restore. While setting that up it was shown that MS had done an update at 10:40 PM, during the time RegCure was scanning - related? Could be. I have changed Windows Update from Automatic to ask for my approval. In any event the restore to last MS Update failed, some program was not available (or busy, forget what the detail was) so I ran a normal shut down and went to bed. This morning the system booted what looked to be normal, so I tried again to do a restore so I could record what the restore change was, it was: Windows Defender Defs KB915597, still only a possible cause, no proof other than time. While in the restore setup I asked for a "scan for affected programs" none were detected. I went forward with the restore and it came up with a driver: TI105238WOE (or 0E) (C:) System. This time the restore completed successfully, DON'T ASK, just be happy. I then went back to update and had the Defender Defs (re)installed. All seems to be fine as I do this typing. I do run Advanced System Care every few days and it does some type of Registry Check, maybe that's enough checking of the Registry. I do think, however, the problem was the running of a windows update (hence Registry changes) at the same time that RegCure was scanning.

A clever way to hide the litter box

Q

Comments (38)

Well, this issue is a real one for people like me, who have 3 hobo cats who knocked on the door of a 988 SF ranch sans basement and said "There's a sign out in the green belt that pointed this way. It's said around kitty campfires that you are a sucker and will give a good meal." Until now there has been NO PLACE for a litter box that isn't public space. Luckily, 2 of the 3 prefer to "go" outside. One of the side benefits of the conversion we are doing to switch hot air furnace and water heater (which was in the kitchen corner of all places) to a hydronic boiler system is that not only did we lose the water heater, we just MIGHT end up with space left in the furnace closet to put in a litter box and a spot for mops/brooms. Crossing my fingers on that... Otherwise, it's going to come down to some kind of creative solution like those posted here. The truth is, in a house this small, you really can't remove the litter box from the public space. It's all one, in a very zen, simple-living kinda way, I prefer to think. ;) I recently saw a neat kitchen remodel that had integrated a cabinet for a litter box, complete with a cut out of a cat for the entry door. Wish I could remember the link now, that should get people reacting. lol

Couldn't you make a folder in programs (86) or inside a game in programs (86) and hide it there. I just made a folder in a game there to see if it is possible. You would have to name it something you could remember and game related if it was really something private.

I used a program called Folder Protect while I was traveling with a laptop. It worked well provided a sense of security and support was reasonable. But that was a couple of years ago. There may have been changes to it since then.

I share the sentiment that if the data in the file is that sensitive, it shouldn't be on a PC that has a high likelihood of loss or theft.

There's no substitute for a heavy steel safe. Is that what you need? Otherwise, put it on a thumb drive, one of the ones that requires password access.
