Tutorial: How to access files locked with WinMend Folder Hidden

A popular software for locking your personal files is WinMend Folder Hidden. The software has any advantages. It’s quick, free and doesn’t hog your system. Well I would say it secure, but then if it was I wouldn’t be writing this article!
Its amazing that long back I could bypass WinMend’s security in 5 different ways! But with time the software has improved. And today I could use 3!
I will share with you one of the three, which utilises a basic flaw of  WinMend, of how it hides the files. I won’t go into the details, but here we go:
Step 1:  Create a bootable Linux Live USB drive. Details: www.pendrivelinux.com
Step 2: Boot from the USB: Wih the USB plugged in , restart into Live USB.
Step 3:  Open File Manager. Browse to the partition that has you hidden files.  Click “Ctrl+H” to view all files.  Go To WinMend. Explore all the folders inside. One of the folder will contain your hidden files. Enjoy.
