Description from http://www.pc-magic.com/ :
Your invisible folders and files can't be deleted, viewed, modified,
or run. For all practical purposes they don't exist. Use Magic Folders
to protect your finances, taxes, business and personal documents.
Others won't know these files exist and they won't be able to
accidentally delete or modify them either. With Magic Folders you can
turn your computer over to your children or co-workers without
worrying if they'll delete, modify or view important files.
Yet, just enter your password and you'll instantly have complete and
normal access to all your folders and the files within. There's no
need to un-hide each file or folder individually. And Magic Folders is
totally transparent. No one need know your invisible folders/files even exist.
If you wish, you can establish 10 different accounts so everyone using
your computer can create their own invisible folders that only they have access to.
If you share your computer you need Magic Folders. Use it to protect
files you don't want others to delete, modify, view, or use. Keep your
important files safe. Protect them with Magic Folders!
IMHO its not perfect and certainly not totally fool-proof, but its
a very nifty program which is small and you can easily hide or
unhide folders with a keystroke.
