Hi everybody,
Would you please inform me about any effective free/paid/trial/demo folder security software which would allow me to password protect and hide them.
Please list the name of the software and the software’s website from where I could download it.

I have used/tested Encrypted Magic Folders, Folder Lock, Hide Folders and several other softwares given on diGit Cd’s, but to no avail, thet all expired after a stipulated period of time.

I have used MaxCrypt (Freeware). Its performance is average but it is very slow in encryption…

Please Help!!!

yes legolas i have also seen that....
may be because in safe mode all the system drivers do not load... only the most important one loads... during boot.
