We will show you two free tools you’re able to use to easily protect your private windows.
WinLock
WinLockis a lightweight tool that’s designed to hide and password protect any focused window.
The selected window is password protected and minimized to the system tray.
When you run WinLock, a small window displays asking you to enter a main password.
This password is applied to each window you lock, including the WinLock window itself.
Once you enter the password, hit the Hide WinLock To Taskbar Tray button.
The window is locked and minimized to the system tray.
Double-punch the window’s icon in the system tray to access it again.
Window Hider
Window Hideris similar to WinLock in that it allows you to easily hide open windows.
However, unlike WinLock, the window you are hiding does not have to have focus.
Hidden windows are minimized, but do not display directly in the system tray.
Therefore, these windows are not as obvious to anyone else using your machine.
Also, a password is not required to hide a window.
Window Hider does not need to be installed.
Simply spin up the .exe file you downloaded.
It is immediately minimized to the system tray.
Right-go for the Window Hider icon to jump into the menu.
The Hide submenu displays all the windows currently open on your desktop, even if they are minimized.
Select a window from the menu to hide it.
The Window Hider dialog box displays.
By default, you are asked for a password to protect the window.
If you don’t want to apply a password to the window, tap the No Password check box.
Otherwise, enter a password to protect the window and click Hide.
A warning dialog box displays telling you that forgetting your password will be catastrophic.
The hidden window is moved from the Hide menu to the Show menu.
Select it from the Show menu to show the menu again.
If you applied a password to the window, Window Hider will ask you for the password.
Enter it and click Show.
