Hello.
There is a feature Windows 7 doesn't allow by default : password protecting a folder.
After searching a bit I found this article :
http://www.pcworld.com/article/230946/how_to_passwordprotect_a_folder_in_windows_7.html
It lists third-party softwares (open source or not, free or not) that can do it.
But for Better Explorer we need some C Sharp code. And moreover Open-Source one.
And here is what I found :

Maybe you could get rid of the useless radiobuttons from the Form1, and just keep the backend code.
To protect the OS, to prevent it from becoming unstable, some folders couldn't be locked :
- C:\Windows
- C:\Program Files
- C:\Program Files (x86)
- C:\Programs
- C:\Users\username\AppData
- C:\Users\username\Desktop (I guess it's important too)
- ... other suggestions ?
This new Folder Lock feature could have its own button on the Folder Tools tab.
