LockDown Rx
If you have files you would like to hide, LockDown Rx might be for you. Rather than throw up shields to prevent unwanted intrusion, LockDown Rx restricts other users from accessing or using the system and data files and functions you specify.
LockDown Rx gives you the option of making files and folders visible but inaccessible, read-only, or a combination thereof. You select what level is appropriate for which files and folders. LockDown Rx has several other options, as well, letting you protect entire drives, prevent anyone from making changes to Internet Explorer settings, disable vulnerable Windows services, or restrict users from performing common but potentially detrimental Windows tasks.
During setup, you establish an admin password. From within the program, you can establish additional user accounts and then either give them the power to make changes or only to lockdown their own personal folder.
When you open the app, a wizard lets you choose a level of security and select files to which you will apply it. File selection is also not overly difficult: You can browse for files and folders or use masks. However, LockDown Rx does not have any built-in masks that automatically locate and select a file category such as program files or multimedia files. The Help utility is less than robust, but the program is easy enough to use without it.
