<quote from the readme>
Hide Files is FREEWARE security program to hide any number of files or
folders.

You have any files or programs that you don't want to share with other
or they contain financial and tax information, passwords, personal
letters and emails, private images, and other confidential or personal
data. But typically, computer files and folders have not security
protection so the best way to protect them is to make files or folders
invisible for another's eyes. Hide Files makes hidden any files and
folders (or whole Windows folder or even all computer disks).

Hide Files allows you to select any folders (and sub folders with files)
of your choice to protect as hidden files and folders. You can select
any folders on your computer or drag-and-drop the desired folders from
Windows Explorer into the Hide Files window. In one mouse click the
folders selected become invisible. Once files or folders are hidden, it
is impossible to find them, or access and remove any file. Unhiding
files or folders is as easy as hiding them - just one mouse click and
they are visible and accessible to you again. If program folder or whole
disks are hidden, itself program or Windows will continue to work normally.

Hide Files is protected by a password and hotkey that you can change or
remove at any time. You can use this security features to protect Hide
Files from unauthorized start.
