Folder Guard Advisor

Folder Guard Advisor is designed to assist you while you are using Folder Guard. It detects some common situations that may require your attention and displays messages related to them. For example, the following message is displayed when you attempt to hide or restrict access to your Desktop folder:

The window displayed by Folder Guard Advisor contains the Don't show this message again checkbox. If you check this box before closing the message window, this particular message will not be displayed again. If you decide later on that you want to see the messages that you have previously chosen not to show, use the Reset the Advisor messages command on the Help menu of Folder Guard.

Each message displayed by Folder Guard Advisor has the default reply button associated with it. This button is indicated by a dashed rectangle when the message is initially displayed on the screen. If you have chosen the Don't show this message again option for a particular message, the default reply will be assumed to be chosen by you for this message thereafter.

Note: Pressing the Enter key while a Folder Guard Advisor message is displayed is equivalent to choosing the first reply button (such as Do It or Yes). Pressing the Escape key has the same effect as choosing the second reply button (such as Ignore or No). Pressing the Space key is equivalent to choosing the button that currently has the focus (indicated by a dashed rectangle).

When you first run Folder Guard, it asks you whether you want to enable or disable Folder Guard Advisor:

If you are not familiar with Folder Guard, it's strongly recommended to press the Yes button to enable the messages. However, if you already know how to use Folder Guard, you can press the No button and Folder Guard Advisor will not show any of its messages anymore. If you don't want to be prompted again the next time you start Folder Guard, check the Remember my choice option on this window. If you later want change you selection, use the Enable/Disable the Advisor command on the Help menu of Folder Guard.
