Lock away your PC files with My Lockbox

Here's how it works. Once you install My Lockbox, the application will create a hidden folder. By default that folder will be hanging out in your My Documents folder, but you can place it anywhere on your PC. The folder is password protected, and when you hit the "lock" button, nobody can open it. That means they can't copy or open files, and they can't save files to the folder. So if you'll need to unlock the folder in order to save new files to your lockbox.
Your files aren't encrypted, so if you want a bit more protection you might want to check out TrueCrypt. But My Lockbox is quite simple to use, and even hides your files when your PC is running in safe mode.

How can I delete this program from my computer? The password that I wrote down is not recognized. Without the password, I can't even delete the program.
