Whenever you work on an important project and you have a lot of important and sensitive files and folders stored on your hard disk, you are concerned about their safety and privacy. That's because hackers or viruses could put all these files in danger. Besides that, other people who use the same computer as you do can find these files and can modify or delete them.

Fortunately, there is a program which can help you hide all your sensitive files and folders on a virtual partition which can be only unlocked using a special password. The name of the application is Secret Disk.

Secret Disk allows you to create a virtual partition on your hard disk, which can have the exact size as the C drive. By setting up a password, you can easily hide this partition or unlock it when needed, thus protecting all the files stored on it. Having this partition locked will mean that nobody will be able to see your files and they will not even appear in search results. Also, viruses or hackers will not be able to damage or delete your sensitive information which is stored on the virtual partition.

After the application is installed, it will prompt the user to set a master password which will be used for hiding or displaying the virtual partition. Next, the user will need to choose a drive letter for the virtual partition.

When unlocking the virtual partition, the user will be able to copy files and folders on it just like he would on a normal partition. After that, with one single click, he will be able to hide the virtual partition.

By accessing the options section, he will be able to configure Secret Disk to start together with Windows and also use the F8 key to lock the virtual partition.

Pros

It can create a virtual partition which can be locked using a password. Besides that, files stored on the virtual partition are virtually invisible. Furthermore, the partition can be locked with a single click.

Cons

There is no password recovery option available, in case the user forgets it. Secret Disk creates a virtual password-protected partition on your hard disk, on which you can securely store all your files and folders.
