Using Folder Lock, you can create encrypted lockers and securely save files in there. Click on the option Encrypt Files and then create a new locker. The locker can have a different password than the master password and while you are making one, you will have to pre-allocate the disk space.
Additional Features
Under Folder Lock Settings, you can choose to auto-lock the vault and all the drives when you exit the app. These settings are found under Auto Protection and you can set an ideal timeout period before the lockers and hidden files are securely closed. The Hack Security section will record any incorrect password attempts.auto protect
Stealth mode is the one feature I like the best. Using this feature you can assign a particular hotkey to launch Folder Lock application and then hide the files from Start menu, Desktop, and even from Program Files. But make sure you always remember the hotkey assigned to Folder Mount or you might end up losing all the data you have stored. The feature is indeed innovative, but has risks involved with it.
