QuestionHow do I get rid of a "private.bat" file I created? I've tryed to Delete from the folder I saved it in but the file keeps re-installing itself every time I use my Photos App.CageyCatTop AnswererIt could be that "Photos" uses a file of that name. Try this. Write down the name of the folder where the file sits now. Copy "private.bat" to a new folder on a thumb drive. Then, right click and select rename, such as "private_old.bat". Try opening "Photos" App and see if that program remakes a "private.bat" file. Whether it does or not, you should be safest to copy the _old version to the same folder on that thumb drive-- just in case.

QuestionIf the password can be changed while the folder is locked, how is it secure?Tony VoversCommunity AnswerThis small program is just hiding the files in a hidden folder. It is a nice little tool to give a minimal level of security on personal files. In fact, there are many ways to "break" the process, including being able to physically find the files with Windows Search if the file name is known. However, for a top-level hiding or protection, it does a fine job and does exactly what the author has suggested.
