it cannot hide them. With Folder Guard, you can not only restrict access
to, but also hide folders, or make them look empty. Unlike Windows,

the rest of the files visible and accessible, if you wish. Or, you can
protect files and folders each with its own individual password, and
then unlock them separately from each other (Windows cannot do that).
