As it can be understood from the name of the software, it is a piece of software to lock files and folders on a particular computer. The features of the tool are discussed below.

Advanced File Lock has an easy user interface which makes the tool simple for users of almost all the levels from novice users to the experts. On the main user interface, the user can get the options for locking files and folders from a selected directory and those locked items will be available on the interface. The items can be unlocked without any difficulty any time after selecting the item from the list of the locked and hidden items. As soon as an item gets locked by this application, the names of the files and folders will never ever appear in the search results or anywhere in the operating system unless they are unlocked from the software.

Advanced File Lock has a bonus feature to clean free space, which means the free space on the hard disk will be made unrecoverable by writing that portion with random data a number of times. This software thus presents two features in a single package and it is designed in a way to make it compatible with all versions of Windows available till date.
