Our Review: Folder Guard Jr allows you to specify one (and only one) folder to make invisible to other users. All folders and files within that folder will also be invisible and Folder Guard Jr supports the hiding of network drives. One particular aspect of Folder Guard that advanced users might find appealing is its support of command line switches; you can automate various functions within Folder Guard from a DOS box or from a windows shortcut. This shareware version allows you to evaluate Folder Guard Jr in both demo or sponsored mode - luckily, if you find sponsored mode too annoying you can swap to the demo mode via an in-program menu.
