Reuschtools FileProtection3.60

There is a good reason all specialists recommend that you create regular backups, as your files are never truly secure. There is always the danger of deleting them accidentally, and malware attacks can also make them inaccessible.Reuschtools FileProtection is a relatively simple utility that can help you ensure your important files are safe. It enables you to lock items from the right-click context menu, making it impossible to modify or delete them until the protection is removed.

Straightforward tool for securing your files

Once you have installed Reuschtools FileProtection, you can right-click any file or folder to gain access to the new function added to the context menu. If an unprotected item is selected, you have the option of locking it, and a secured object can be unlocked easily.Additionally, it is possible to protect all the files stored in a particular folder at once. When doing so, the application provides you with a log to let you know which items have been processed. However, it would be great if you had the option of preventing this window from being displayed.

Simple file protection utility that could be improved in certain respects

Once you have locked one or more files, a black dot is displayed in the lower left corner of their icons to let you know that they are protected. While this is certainly a helpful feature, it would be nice if more styles or color choices were available, as the dot is difficult to see in some situations.If a user without administrative rights attempts to unlock a protected file, they are required to provide a password. This encryption key can be set by accessing the settings menu in the Reuschtools application, which is displayed when processing multiple files.

Promising application that still needs work

Overall, Reuschtools FileProtection is a useful program that can help you secure important files with just a couple of mouse clicks. However, it would benefit from a more accessible configuration panel and more customization options.
