You can hide those files using the contextual menu in Finder, adding the file from MacHider's menu or drag and drop them into MacHider. An unlimited number of files can be protected at the same time.
Effective protection techniques allow you to hide files and folders out from other users without changing them. You won’t lose any files during the hiding process. In case you need to reinstall MacHider you can use the ‘Restore Files’ feature.

Your private files and folders can be organized into groups, so you may easily and quickly locate them whenever you need. Simply organize them by category, and keep your private files structured. Every folder has a personalizaed icon to help you distinguish your categories. MacHider uses Leopard's quick view technlogy, which allows you to preview the files you hid out without opening them.
