WinMend Folder Hidden

WinMend Folder Hidden is a free program that allows you to "hide" files and folders on local partitions and removable media. It is intended primarily for home use and does not claim to be an ultimate means of protecting sensitive data. So the developers do not recommend it as a solution for commercial organizations and enterprises with an increased level of "secrecy".

Using WinMend Folder Hidden is very easy. To "hide" a file or folder, simply drag and drop it to the program window or use the Hide Folder and Hide File(s) buttons. In the same window you can quickly change the status of files and folders from "hidden" to "visible" and remove items from the list. Files on USB drives that you hide with this program stay hidden when the drive is connected to another computer or opened under another operating system. In order to see them, you will need to install WinMend Folder Hidden and enter the master password. This master password is set in the program at the first start and is requested at each subsequent launch, and it can be changed later. There are no password recovery systems in the program, so be sure to remember (or write down) the password so you don't lose access to your files.

The protection is relatively basic, so someone with the right technical tools could still find the hidden files. The program is completely free and is translated into many languages. The WinMend website is no longer online, so the program is not developed any more.

WinMend Folder Hidden provides a simple and convenient way to hide personal files and folders, enhancing privacy and data protection at home.
