Don't use Folder Protector
Folder protector does not work, and Kaka couldn't care less. I wrote the following (below) to them via their contact email, and they brushed me off with a shrug of the shoulders. "I use Windows 8.1. I downloaded Folder Protector to give it a try before purchasing. The program protects a folder located in the main folder that contains all my photographs, and, to my surprise, when I used the search box in that open folder (the main folder), the supposedly hidden photographs in the protected folder were displayed too. I did an experiment. I opened the protected folder and, before unlocking the protected file, I did a search and, surprise surprise, the protected photographs were displayed and can be opened, viewed, and copied. What is the point of having an encrypted folder if a simple search will reveal what is in it?"
