AFP is a driver that intercepts all file activity, and thus can prevent it. AFP allows Win32 developers to provide file protection, hiding and inaccessablity techniques into their applications. AFP allows the prevention of file creation, replacing, opens, reads adnd write, renames, deletions, attribute setting and retreiving, date/time set/retreive and can also make files (and directories) hidden or fully inaccessible. Easy to use and very efficient.
