Hey everyone. It's been a long time since I wrote a product review. Hence I decided to go with reviewing a product.

2. Now execute the downloaded file. If windows prompts you, click on run.
3. After running the folder protector, a window will open as shown below. Click on the folder icon to choose the target folder (i.e. the folder you want to password protect). Then type any password and click on the Protect button. You're done! You can also provide your email address to recover password in case you forget your password in future.
4. After protecting, if you wish to discontinue the protection just go to the same folder and open the lockdir.exe file. Next, you'll be asked for the password. Enter it accurately press the Unprotect button. That's it. The files will be extracted in that folder. It's as smooth as buttering a bread. In case you wanna retrieve the password enter your assigned mail address and click on retrieve button. Watch the snap below.
Final Review:
The first thing that attracted me is that it doesn't require installation. Other protector software like Winrar needs installation. This, sometimes, is irritating as we've to burn some spaces from our memory. So, you know, it's quite cool. Next, I was pleased with its easy user interface and instant protection, which is quite hard to find in other software. But the most tremendous fact is that it uses "industry standard 256-bit on-the-fly AES Encryption technology" while the encryption process. So your files are totally secured. Besides, the files are fully protected as it can't be deleted or moved after encryption. It's fully portable as well, so you can carry to anywhere you want. In one sentence - Kakasoft Folder Protector is a tremendous guard with irresistible protection and yet one of the easiest software I've ever used. It's the ultimate protector you need.
I give it 4.5 stars out of 5. There's one thing that I'd like to suggest Kakasoft. Kindly add a shortcut in the right click menu, so that any folder can be locked with just a click. I know in that case installation will be required but that's adorable.
Lastly,
Locking folders is pretty easy job to do. You can even do it with notepad, but when it comes to confidential stuffs, you better leave it on expert hands. Anyway comment your reviews below. Good bye for now. Ceeyaa!!
