Magic Folders XP 04.04.2 100% Safe Certified Editor's Choice
Magic Folders makes any folder you choose and all the files in that folder completely invisible to others, even on a network. Your invisible folders and files can't be deleted, viewed, modified, or run. For all practical purposes they don't exist. Use Magic Folders to protect your finances, taxes, and personal documents. Others won't know these files exist, and they won't be able to accidentally delete or modify them either.

This product has a decent user interface and reasonable features. Unfortunately it has one that crashes your computer. The feature sets up an icon in the task bar so that selected folders can be hidden with a quick mouse click. Also, the user can select a timer to hide the files/folders when no mouse activity is detected. If you happen to get distracted so that the timer expires, or if you click the icon, AND Explorer happens to be open with the "to be hidden" files listed in the window, the computer reboots with Windows reporting a serious error. PC-Magic Customer Support was defensive and contentious. This appears to be a short-cut method (ha-ha) to hide the folders by forcing a reboot. Unfortunately all other open work is lost.
