16. How to use Folder Lock’s stealth mode?

 

Folder Lock comes with amazing privacy protection and security features that lets you to apply enduring security on your confidential files, folders, pictures, videos and also lets you password protect USB drive.

 

The program offers an exceptional feature of running in complete stealth that hides all the traces of Folder Lock from your computer, from Desktop, Start menu, Quick Launch and Add/Remove Programs and even from the Program Files / Install Location.

 

When you activate Stealth Mode, no one will ever know that you are using folder locking software to protect your files and folders. The only way to access Folder Lock after activating ‘Stealth Mode’ is by using Hotkey.

 

To activate Stealth Mode, run Folder Lock and open any Locker, click 'Options' at the bottom of the vault gate, click ‘Stealth Mode’ and check the ‘Stealth Mode on/off’ Box and set the hotkey that you wish to use i.e. Ctrl + Alt + Shift+ Your Key.  

 

 

 

 

Sometimes, hotkey you set is already in use by another program and therefore it can conflict with Folder Lock’s hotkey in Stealth conditions. The best solution to recover the program under these circumstances is to reinstall Folder Lock on the same location to restore Start Menu and Desktop Icons. You can also click ‘Start > Run’ or press +R and enter the path to the Folder Lock.exe which is by default ‘C:\Program Files\Folder Lock 6\Folder Lock.exe’ to execute Folder Lock. You can then disable the Stealth Mode or choose another Hotkey Character for your use.
