Have you ever been humiliated and embarrassed when your most private files were discovered by a snoop? Would you like to protect your files and folders from discovery by nosy family members, jealous co-workers, rivals and thieves? Folder Castle 2.2 is everything you need to protect your files and peace of mind at home and in the workplace.

MagneticSoft today announces Folder Castle 2.2, the newest upgrade of the security software for protecting computer files from snoops and thieves. Now, Folder Castle can hide files and folders automatically when you log off, shut down the system, or switch to another user. The latter capability is available on Windows XP and Vista. Another new feature enables you to change the hot keys to personal preferences.

Folder Castle provides two methods to keep computer files away from prying eyes. You can lock away files and folders, which literally gets confidential materials off the screen in a moment. Or you can put files into a secure container called Secure Storage with on-the-fly AES-256 encryption.

Secure Storage works in much the same way as an ordinary drive: it can be mounted or unmounted, defraged, checked for errors, formatted. Once the files are protected, they cannot be seen in Windows Explorer even if the computer is re-booted in Windows SafeMode.

For more security, you can step into Stealth mode, which instantly hides the presence of Folder Castle itself. In addition, a password protection scheme ensures that only the user can restore access to the protected files as well as the control panel.

The following is an overview of just some of the many exciting benefits of Folder Castle.

Keep your files hidden away from snoops 
Statistics show that over 90 of all people today have to share their computer with other people: family members, co-workers or roommates. Sooner or later some private file will be found by someone who has no business seeing it. Folder Castle will help you protect your business documents, personal finances, passwords and dozens of other private items of which you have no desire to share with anyone. Once hidden, the files become undetectable, so no snoop will ever be tempted by their sight and get the hands on them.

Protect the files on a stolen laptop from thieves 
The theft of a portable computer continues to be on the rise. The loss of the equipment due to theft is only part of the problem. The real value of the stolen computer lies within the data it contains, which are literally hundreds if not thousands of times more valuable. When you protect and hide your laptop’s information with Folder Castle, the software turns the files invisible so that it is almost like the files do not exist at all.

Take your protected data with you on the USB drive
Folder Castle lets you use one of those USB flash drives, ZIP drives or any other removable device to store your protected data. Just create Secure Storage on the removable device, put files in to it and you’re free to roam the planet without the fear of data loss or theft. To get access to the files, plug the USB drive into the USB port, mount the drive and open the storage. The only condition is that another computer should also have Folder Castle software installed.

People are nosey. They’ll read your newspaper over your shoulder if given the chance, listen in to your side of a cell phone conversation and pry into computer files. Information in these files is something identity thieves and jealous co-workers need to make your life miserable for months if not for years to come. So why treat your computer any differently than you do your other valuable property, for which you probably have some kind of protection like a safe?

If you are ready for some affordable, state-of-the-art protection, then you are ready for Folder Castle 2.2. It’ll protect your computer files and peace of mind.
