Dark Files 4.2.1.1

Editor’s review:

Dark Files provides means to keep your files protected. You can choose who gets access to what files on your computer. This program provides three levels of protection to suit any user; “Hidden”, “Read Only”, “Full Control”.

Pros: Dark Files is an application that adds protection to files/folders in a system. Three levels of protection are possible. These are designating the files totally hidden. In that case except for the administrator no other user can even see the designated files. Read only designation disable writing to the file, deleting or any other means of modifying them. Full control will allow all the operations. This is possible not only a folder but all the sub folders and files included in it. Yu could do it individually too of course. Wild cards allow adding these protections to a specific type of files such as *.doc for example. The protection applies not only to data files but also to program files. Protection settings in Dark Files apply uniformly to all kinds of drives including the system drives, network drives mapped to the system and removable drives.

These settings can be done for each of the users of the system. Default set of protection can be set by defining user groups. When a user is not in the main user profiles, the guest protection settings apply. Protections work independently of the programs using the particular file, it�ll hold even when the program has been closed.

Cons: Protecting files as hidden, read only or full control on removable media through this program may not be useful. The control possibly would work on similar platforms, basically all windows versions. Unless data is encrypted there can be no real protection. How does the protection work on other platforms! Biggest concerns of protecting data are about removable media in any system anyway.

I wonder how many personal systems are used by more than one person, may be two. Would such elaborate arrangement make sense now!

Overall rating is 3 stars.

Desktop Lock 5.0.0.283

marykay — Wed, 30 Nov 2011 00:34:54 +0000

Stardust Desktop Lock 5 is a small and convenient tool, useful for quickly locking down your computer system.

When a computer is locked down it is “password protected”. During this phase it is either sleeping, displaying a login screen, a screen saver or asking for a password. Desktop Lock puts your computer into that state, in accordance with policies defined by your machine.

As a user, should you need to step away from your computer, simply double-click the installed Desktop Lock icon and your desktop will be (after a short delay, as defined by Windows policies) protected from prying eyes.

Other utilities are available to immediately start a screen saver, however Desktop Lock is different because it does not require a screen saver (it will prompt you for one if not set, but a screen saver is not required) and also because simply starting a screen saver does not ensure your system is secure. (For example, what if the screen saver is not password protected?)

Desktop Lock takes care of securing your system wth the built-in functionality of Windows using a simple double-click of an icon.

This product, previously only available to business clients, is designed for Windows XP on forward, and is provided to you at no charge by Stardust Software. Feel free to use it if you like, or if not, simply use the uninstaller to remove it from your system.
