I'm trying your "Protected Folder" program (trial version) but it seems that when i lock a folder on an external drive or a USB key on MY PC and then i install this USB stick on another computer none of the folders are protected anymore ... ? Is it normal ? Is there a solution ? A portable version to be installed on external drives (HHD for instance) ?


If Windows setting - hide system files and directories is set to 'on' then the user is in with a chance of haviving this software hide the 'protected file/directory', if the setting is set to 'off' in other words display system hidden files/directories then this software does not hide the 'protected' file/directory, so becomes a bit pointless. if like me you are an I.T. professional then protecting files using a password is simple with microsft office software also Adobe.


This software is a good idea but needs a little more thought to being able to display directory content and open hidden/protected file from within an application given an 'addon' to office products (word, excel etc) and adobe.


The first time you run this application it will require to set the master password, which is going to be used later for authentication in order for the user to be able to access the protected files and/or folders through this software.


In order to enable all these protection options we saw before, this application uses a driver called 
'pfilter.sys'
, which apparently does exactly what its name indicates. I didn't analyse this file further because it is not necessary in this case, but most probably it hooks some functions at kernel level that have to do with file manipulation such as the 
ZwCreateFile
, 
ZwReadFile
, 
ZwWriteFile,
 native Windows APIs and in addition, it filters the parameters related with the protected file and the access rights requested.


So, depending on the protection options, the application is filtering the first API mentioned based on the absolute path of the file or folder, in other words if no access is permitted, it won't let Windows Explorer to obtain a valid handle to the file or folder so it basically hides it from the user.


The application is only using one password for authentication. This means that the user has to login only once to the application every time he starts it and then he has access through there to all the files and folders that were previously protected.


Imagine the case in which a malicious user, instead of making a copy of the protected file that holds the SHA-1 hash of the original password, which he doesn't need to, since patching the algorithm is enough to have access to all the protected files and folders, he decides to use the same trick, but this time using the 
WriteFile
 API to substitute the SHA-1 with random bytes or with a another hash that corresponds to a password of his choice.





Another, scenario would be to modify the 
exclude.cds 
file which contains a list critical directories of the operating system that the user cannot lock, and add just "C:". This would not affect the already protected programs, unless he unlocks them and tries to lock them back again, but the user wouldn't be able to protect anymore files or folders located under the C: directory.


Well, if you often share your laptop with your friends or family members, you risk compromising your privacy. We store certain files and folders on our system that we always want to hide from others. However, when we share our PC, all our files can be accessed by others.


So, if you are also searching for a reliable way to password-protect your files and folders on Windows, you are reading the right guide. In this article, we will talk about one of the best security and privacy tools for Windows, known as <str
