I was using My Lockbox for some time, but when I replaced the HDD by SSD I discovered that the "protected" folder was totally unprotected. In short it was "protected" only while it was installed in my computer.
My Lockbox is a risky program to use and I just found this out the hard way. I used it for several months and everything seemed fine until it decided to update and then proceeded to wipe out everything it was hiding. I lost everything with this program so it's a good thing I had those files in another place. I would not trust any program where you are prompted to restart windows in order for it to work. There are two very good alternatives called PrivateFolder and Lock-A-Folder that are free, do not require a restart of windows, and are very safe to use.
I have had to ditch My Lockbox! Each time I install it with Windows 7 (x64), the o/s freezes and I have to use system restore to get things working again. It's a shame as otherwise it appears to be a nice little program.
So ......... onto the next one.
Tried it, and it seems to work fine in Windows 7, but files are no longer hidden when I boot to Live DVD in Mint... Any user-friendly alternatives out there, without having to re-format or totally encrypt an HDD partition?
Thanks! Frank_S
