I stumbled apon an interesting article some time ago. It was about locking folders with a little trick
Here i will show you what you need to do.
so.. to start off.
-select a folder you wish to lock (example: folder 'pictures')
-now make a batch file! how? here is how!
-open Notepad and write inside:
CODE
ren pictures pictures.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}
-save the text file in the same directory as the pictures folder and name it Lock.bat (be sure to select saving as 'any file' and not .txt)
*now we have the locking batch file!
so.. lets make an unlocking file!
-open Notepad again, and write inside:
CODE
ren pictures.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D} pictures
-save the file in the same directory as before with the name Key.bat
**there it is! lock and key files!! now double-click on lock to lock the pictures folder, and double-click the key to unlock it !
you will notice that the pictures folder icon changed to the control panel icon and while locked will lead to the control panel.
you can use other shortcuts!!
