Lock Any Folder In XP

Lock any folder without using any software

1. Suppose you have a folder named abcd in D:\abcd.

2. In the same drive next to the folder create a new notepad file with the exact
statement

ren abcd abcd.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}

3. Now save this text file as loc.bat

4. Create another notepad file and type

ren abcd.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D} abcd

5. Save this as key.bat

6. Now there are two batch files. Double click loc.bat and your folder will change
into Control Panel and its contents cannot be viewed .

7. To open the folder double click key.bat and you get back your original folder.

8. For more safety keep the key.bat in another location . Only for unlocking copy
paste to the original location and double click..

(don't forget to replace abcd with the folder name)
