Auto Protect

If you are too much concerned about your privacy and fear that other users may use your computer when you're away from your PC, then use 'Auto Protect' feature. To activate this feature, check the 'Auto Protection (On/Off)' option and then choose an idle time. Folder Lock will automatically Lock your files, folders and drives and/or Encrypt your files and folders once your computer is idle for the time you specified.

This option is also useful for users who want to give a time limited access to other users or keep their opened Locker's download path for download purposes overnight and wish Locker to auto protect after a certain time.

This option can greatly enhance the data-in-use security of your files and folders. Suppose you fear that your co-workers can delete files in your Locker or your family members can find out what you keep in your Locker if you move away from your computer and forgot to click the 'Close to Protect' or 'Click to Close' button in Folder Lock, then you need not worry much. If your computer gets idle for a longer time and the Locker is open, you can set the idle time to 10 minutes and then no one will be able to access files inside your Locker again after this time.
