You can control the operation of Folder Guard by running the file FG32.exe (or FG64.exe, or FGARM64.exe if you use Windows x64 or Windows Arm64) with the command line switches described below:
Either of these switches disables the protection of your computer. You can also specify the /PASSWORD:master-password switch on the same command line, to suppress the prompt for the Master Password that this command would otherwise display.
Either of these switches enables the protection of your computer according to the settings you have previously set up with Folder Guard.
This switch toggles the protection. That is, if the protection is paused at the time this switch is used, then the protection is resumed. If, however, the protection is already in effect, it pauses it. You can also specify the /PASSWORD:master-password switch on the same command line, to suppress the prompt for the Master Password that this command would otherwise display when pausing the protection.
Pauses the protection for the local user accounts only, while keeping the protection effective for the network users accessing this computer over LAN.
Resume the protection for the local user accounts.
This switch unlocks the specified folder, if you have previously set up a password for it. If the path contains spaces, it must be enclosed in the double-quotes. You can also specify the /PASSWORD:folder-password switch on the same command line, to suppress the prompt for the folder password that this command would otherwise display.
This switch locks the specified folder, if you have previously set up a password for it. If the path contains spaces, it must be enclosed in the double-quotes.
This switch unlocks or locks the specified folder, depending on whether the folder is locked or unlocked at the time this command is used. Note that you must have previously set up a password for this folder in order to be able to lock or unlock it. If the path contains spaces, it must be enclosed in the double-quotes. You can also specify the /PASSWORD:folder-password switch on the same command line, to suppress the prompt for the folder password that this command would otherwise display when unlocking the folder.
This switch locks all currently unlocked folders, if any, for which you have previously set up the folder passwords. You can also specify the /PASSWORD:master-password switch on the same command line, to suppress the prompt for the Master Password that this command would otherwise display.
This switch deactivates the protection, and then unloads the driver of Folder Guard from the computer memory. You can also specify the /PASSWORD:master-password switch on the same command line, to suppress the prompt for the Master Password that this command would otherwise display. Note that in order for this operation to succeed, it must be launched "as administrator".
CAUTION: unloading the driver is an unsafe operation that may crash Windows with the blue screen error; use this switch only if absolutely necessary. It's safer to just deactivate the protection using the Deactivate protection and Exit command of Folder Guard application.
This switch loads the driver of Folder Guard into the computer memory without enabling the protection. You can also specify the /PASSWORD:master-password switch on the same command line, to suppress the prompt for the Master Password that this command would otherwise display. Note that in order for this operation to succeed, it must be launched "as administrator"
This switch can be used in addition to any switch listed above, to supply the password required by the operation. If the password contains spaces, it must be enclosed in the double quotes. Note that /LOCK:, /UNLOCK:, and /TOGGLE: switches require the password for the folder you want to lock or unlock, while other switches expect the Master Password of Folder Guard.
These switches suppress or reinstate some non-essential messages displayed while performing other commands. Note that the password prompts or error messages are always displayed regardless of these switches.
You can also use the following command line switches with the file Setup.exe (or Setup64.exe if you use Windows x64) of Folder Guard:
Use this switch to uninstall Folder Guard from your computer.
Note that the Setup.exe file does NOT support the /PASSWORD switch.
Suppose that you have installed Folder Guard in the folder C:\Program Files\Folder Guard, and that you have chosen the word Apple as the Master Password of Folder Guard. Also, you have used Folder Guard to restrict access to the folder C:\My Private Files, and you have set up the word green as the unlocking password for this folder. You can use the following commands to perform the following actions:
