A very useful trick to lock a FOLDER. This trick has only been tested in Windows XP.

Suppose you want to lock the folder lucky in D:\lucky. In the same drive create a text file and type:

Code:

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

Now save this text file as lock.bat

Create another text file and copy/paste:

Code:

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

Now save this text file as key.bat

Now you can see 2 batch files lock and key. Press lock and the folder lucky will change to control panel and you cannot view its contents. Press key and you will get back your original folder.
