    For anyone reading, this seems to be the program in question:
    SafeHouse Explorer - SafeHouse User's Guide

    SafeHouse Explorer uses passwords and advanced encryption to completely hide and defend your sensitive files, including photos, videos, spreadsheets, databases and just about any other kind of file that you might have. SafeHouse Explorer can protect files residing on any drive, including memory sticks, external USB drives, network servers and CD/DVDs.

    SafeHouse Explorer creates hidden private storage areas on your local hard drive or external media to hold your confidential files. Your files are completely invisible until you enter your password. After you enter your secret password, you access your files using SafeHouse Explorer's familiar drag-and-drop Explorer-like interface.
    Hi, do you use disk imaging routinely as tenforum members tirelessly recommend? E.g. Macrium Reflect (free/paid).

    If so, restore the relevant partitions.

    Otherwise: There's their support page- best to seek product specific advice rather than here on a more general O/S basis.
    Lock Files and Folders with SafeHouse Encryption Software

    Assuming one or more protected vaults was created, this may still be physically on the partition and be recoverable. However, if you've been using that partition, as ever, with deleted files, it could well have been at least partially overwritten.

    Thanks dalchina
    I stumbled on the location and pass on this to anyone that does the same thing.

    Go to documents then in left panel select this PC, select safehouse explorer, then enter P/W and you will see your files just cut and paste to new volume. However it does raise the question of just how secure your files really are.

    If using cut & paste to move files into the encrypted container then you have not securely overwritten the original file.

    Safehouse Explorer is a good way to secure & password protect files stored on a USB stick because you can run the program from USB.

    If hiding files on your hard drive you'd need to overwrite the originals.

    Blank And Secure 5.45 Portable tool to securely delete the data.

    Or just use Sdelete:

    Add Secure Delete to Context Menu in Windows 10


    That means use copy/ paste instead of cut/ paste to move files to container then wipe the original files/ folders.

    Savehouse Explorer creates encrypted "vault" files on the drives you specify.
    A file search for *.sdsk will locate any vaults on a drive, but you'll need the password for a particular vault to open it.
    Uinstalling or deleting the Safehouse Explorer program does not delete any of the vaults it created.

    Safehouse Explorer.exe is a standalone program with no required dependencies.
    So if you copy it to a removable drive on which you've created a vault, you can access that vault on any Windows computer without requiring any software installation.

    When run on a computer that doesn't already have the optional support module installed, it will offer to install that module. This requires admin access to install and will provide an improved user interface, but it is NOT required to access your vault. I definitely recommend installing it on your computers.

    Important: After installation, keep backup copies of the installed Safehouse Explorer.exe program file, which is web-independent. The installer itself will NOT work unless it can access the safehousesoftware.com web site and thus is unusable if that site is down (as it is as I write this) or inaccessible, and without Safehouse Explorer.exe, you CAN'T access your vaults!

    All sensitive data on my thumb drives is in Safehouse vaults so that if I lose a drive, that data is inaccessible to the finder.

    If anyone wants the portable version that runs from USB and creates password protected encrypted volumes on the same USB - here it is.


    There's a guide here:

    Safehouse Explorer does not make drive letter in explorer


    Hi all,
    Sorry for activating this old thread - but after getting a new (used) computer, running Win 10 pro 64, the safehouse explorer is not making the D: driveletter for the content of the vault.

    Does this win 10 have a setiing that prevents this `? My other win10 pro (enterprise) on my work pc did work fine with the drive letter designation.

    Any ideas ?

    It doesn't create a drive or assign a drive letter. If you want to store data on another drive you'd need to create the drive and add a folder to store the safehouse volume. Then point the program to the drive/ folder.
