Lock my folder : how to unlock folder
I had a folder locked with Lock my Folder 1.7 on drive
D, but because of a virus I had to Format
drive C and reinstall Windows. I reinstalled Lock my
Folder 1.7 but that folder still doesn't open
I've tried unlock previous version but it still
doesn't work. What can I do?
