• Unfortunately Protect Folder v3.0 and above can’t recover passwords from folders protected with previous versions of Protect Folder, this is because this is a new feature added to Protect Folder v3.0 and above.
• If you try to protect a folder with only a 0 byte file it will show the ErrorX25, this is not really important because if a file has 0 byte it means it has no information at all. However if you think this is important to you, just request this feature using the contact form or the comments bellow.
• Using the TAB key with protect folder is not very user-friendly due to some issues with the skin.
