1. To password-protect folders or drives anywhere on your computer by clicking the 'browse' link.

2. Or to keep your private files and folders in the 'Locker' folder and click 'Lock' button.

You can choose any of those two methods. The first method is useful for those who require on-the-fly protection of their folders and drives anywhere on their computer. However, the second method is useful if you want to keep all your private stuff in a single place and don't want any hassle of going to each and every protected folder on your PC to unlock it. By putting all your files in the 'Locker' all you need to do is enter the correct password and all your private files popup in front of you.
