Software
I ran foldermasker, and masked a folder with a basic password to test it out. Then when I re-run foldermasker, and enter the password, to unmask the folder, it does not allow me to.
Is there something that I am doing wrong, or something that can be done to undo the masked folder?
Thank you.

Noooo. I did read the disclaimer, and followed the instructions, which is why i am reaching out for help to someone who may have had the same thing happen.
I am not blaiming anyone or suggesting anyone is at fault, but thanks for being so defensive and little help Mycroft.
Nuff said back.

How exactly can you select the folder to unmask, when you can't see it ???
I laugh when I think of the stupidity of this program - it masked a folder as it should, but how did you find it again to unmask it ?

lol..that is my question, it masked it perfectly fine, yet, to unmask it, it did not list the masked folder.
I was hoping someone here could help me with the statement in their description:
"This small program is good to be used at home to hide folders from kids or for novice users (any one with some computer knowledge can unhide the folder)"
As I tried going to folder options and enabling protected system operating files and made hidden folders visible. no luck.

Not that I particularly enjoy doing jigsaws.
FolderMasker removes the folder image from whichever directory it existed in.
It then creates and places a cloned file name in the ROOT of whichever HDD the folder was sitting within. This file is an encrypted .txt file [u]without[/u] an extension.
When you want to UNMASK the 'masked' file, at the OPEN dialogue, navigate to the ROOT of that HDD and you will see the masked folders listed there, choose the one you want and it will then (and only then) appear in the left-hand column which you noticed had no choices in it.
Enter your password, click 'unmask' - job done.
Ahhh... that was fun.
Any questions ?? :D
Do I get a Thumb for this ? :D :D :D

i will give you thumb if you know what to do with this progg, if, in the situation where you forgot the password. forgot i mean as in my situation now, trapped with 13 gigs of data in that folder. the pass i typed wont budge. it said "invalid password" eventhou i'm certain which password i used.
