If you have important documents on your computer, damage or loss of which can cost you dearly, then it is worth organizing the protection of the files, folders and even programs you need. This will allow you and only you to edit documents and open programs that will be safely hidden. The implementation of the plan to hide some files has become available thanks to specialized programs. The software you will use to hide your files allows password access. For example, you need to attach access rights for two users of this computer to a specific folder. A couple of your colleagues, knowing the password, can always have access to hidden files.
