If several users work on the same computer, often there is a problem of protecting files from accidental or deliberate deletion. There are several ways to solve this problem.
Necessary
FolderGuardPro
Instructions
Step 1
The easiest way is to regularly save a backup copy of the files on some external medium, but, unfortunately, this is not always possible. In order to protect files from accidental deletion, it is enough to set the "Read-only" attribute on it. To do this, click on the folder with the files with the left button and in the context menu that opens, check the box next to the "Read only" inscription. Click OK and in the window that opens, mark the item "Apply to all attached files and folders." After that, if you accidentally try to delete a folder, the system will display a window asking you to confirm the deletion of each file from this folder.
Step 2
If you are concerned that your files may be intentionally deleted, you can use the FolderGuardPro program. After installing the program, the quick setup wizard will start, in which you will be asked to enter the name of the file to store the protection information, after you enter the name in the next window, specify the location of the folder whose contents you want to protect. In the next window, set a password for accessing this folder. Then confirm the activation of protection by checking the appropriate item in the dialog box. If you want the folder protection to be activated every time the operating system starts, select the item in the new window that says "Turn on protection automatically when Windows starts up". After that, press the "Finish" button and see the protected folder in the program window, which is now marked with a red circle.
Step 3
In a similar way, we can set access rights for all folders on the computer, while making them completely invisible to other users, read-only, without the ability to change or delete their contents, as well as set a password for each of them. To do this, left-click on the folder and select the required action in the context menu.
