Hi Readers,,,
I have seen that many peoples are using softwares to lock their private files. That software hides the files which are locked by the user.
But in this post I will show you how to lock a folder without using any software, And the folder will not become hidden. This is the safest trick to lock your personal folders.
Suppose you want to lock the folder Tricks in d: drive which has the path D:\Tricks.
In the same drive create a text file and type.
ren Tricks Tricks.{21EC2020-3AFA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}
Now save this text file as loc.bat or download from here and save it as .bat.
Create another text file and type in it
ren Tricks.{21EC2020-3AFA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}Tricks
Now save this text file as key.bat or doenload from here and save it as .bat.
Now you can see 2 batch files lock and key. Press loc and the folder Tricks will change to control panel and you cannot view its contents.
Press key you will get back your original folder.
Note: It is safe as in case if you loose the key file, you can create it again but the folder name must the correct.
Enjoyy and keep visiting for more new tricks...
