Overview of Mirage Colloid
Mirage Colloid is an “optical camouflage” tool that quickly stealth-masks folders you don’t want others to see.
- With a single click a folder is disguised as a special system folder; even double-clicking it will not reveal its contents.
- The disguised folder is further marked with hidden/system attributes, so it will no longer appear in Explorer by default.
- Because it does not encrypt data, the operation completes immediately even if the folder contains gigabytes of files.
- You can set a startup password to prevent unauthorized use of the program.
Supported OS
Windows 11 / Windows 10 / Windows 7
