The program also integrates data security features by encrypting confidential data on the device, to encrypt files from the main working interface of the program, click on the Encryt Files option and then select the files that need to be encrypted. Localize the device in Source Files , enter the path to save encrypted files in Destination File , click the Encrypt button, then enter the password to encrypt. When you want to decode, you just need to perform the above operations again but instead of clicking Encrypt , you click the Decrypt button.

The special feature of the program is that in addition to data security by setting protection time, the program also integrates a feature of 'disguising' a folder into another format.

For example, turning your My Documents folder into a web file in Html, Printer, Control Panel . And so when strangers access the confidential data contained in this 'disguised' folder, the result they receive is just dummy destinations you set.

To exploit this feature from the main working interface of the program, click the Disguise Folder option, click the Browse button, and then select a folder on your computer to 'disguise', at the bottom of the Browse button please. Click the down arrow icon to select the desired type of camouflage, and then click the Apply button to confirm the operation just made.

In addition, you should also set up a new account to manage the settings contained in the program as well as the right to log in and remove the program by going to Tools > User .

Here you can click on the Add New Account option to create additional accounts to manage the program with similar powers.

However, you also need to know that each account can only set parameters to the liking of the account, but not edit the parameters of the other account.

This method is very useful when a PC has many users in common and they can preserve their own confidential data individually without fear that it will be illegally exploited.
