Hide & Lock – The protected files or folders are not visible to a user and it is not possible to access them. Hide – the protected files or folders are not visible to a user, but it is possible to access them. This may be helpful when you want to hide application folders but allow to run the applications from these folders. Lock – the protected files or folders are visible but not accessible. It is similar to built-in protection of Windows NT-based operating systems on NTFS volumes. Read Only – the protected data are visible and accessible, but you cannot modify or delete them.
