Second guessing that guess. I think the author is playing games. . .

I tried installing the app. After "installation" of "Lock Folder" all I
seem to have gotten is the opportunity to install another app. :(
"Installing topdownloads Folder Protect" - an offer I declined.

That site is now DEAD. . . the Wayback Machine has some pages:
http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www.lockfolder.net/

This site probably has the latest info (it seems to be owned by the author):
http://www.topdownloads.net/software/view.php?id=11463

I think the *original* version of "Lock Folder" v 5.0 must be GONE. I
don't know what "Folder Protect" is (perhaps it's another name for
"Folder Access"). I couldn't find a description on the net. I dunno
exactly what's going on - but IMO it's nothing good. ISTM I should add a
"not recommended" tag on "lock Folder" and remove "Folder Access" from
the ACF pages. Any comments?
