-[ A.R.C.A ]-

A.R.C.A is a password-protected folder manager for Windows that I found on an old hard drive at a yard sale.

The original code was corrupted, but I have managed to repair most of it, and it now works surprisingly well.

It allows you to create protected folders that require a password before opening them.

Protected folders remain inaccessible while locked and can only be accessed through Arca after entering the correct password.

> ⚠️ Arca is currently in development and should not be considered a high-security solution. But still it works really well

> for day to day use at **user level** high-security.

> ⚠️ DONT LOOSE YOUR PASWORDS - Currently there is no way of changing paswords so important documents may be lost if you loose the pasword to acces them, so be carefull.

Download options

 "Arca-Setup.exe" — Installer

The installer version installs Arca normally on your computer and creates the necessary shortcuts and files for regular use.

Choose this version if you want a standard Windows installation.

"Arca.exe"— Portable

The portable version does not require installation.

Simply place `Arca.exe` wherever you want and run it. Arca will automatically create the three folders required for the application to work in the same location as the `.exe`.

This makes it suitable for keeping Arca in a specific folder, on a USB drive, or on another storage device without going through an installation process. That way you can hide the folders wherever you want for more personal security.

In short:

* `Arca-Setup.exe` → Normal Windows installation.

* `Arca.exe` → Portable, no installation required.

 Project status

🚧 In development

The current goal is to keep reparing the mysterious code and uncover more of its features.
