How to Lock a Folder without using any Software


If you have some sensitive data or data that you do not want to share with anyone, then this Hack may become very useful to you. In Windows, mostly softwares are been used for hiding a folder or locking a folder, but here I am going to do this without using any software. If you want to learn this trick then this will cost you nothing than a few minutes :-

  • Suppose you have a folder named music in drive C: . The path for the folder is  C:\music. For hiding this folder you have to create a text file in same drive and type  
        ren  music music.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}

  •   Now save this text file as loc.bat
  •   For Unlocking the folder, create another text file and type in
             ren music.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D} music
  •  Save this text file as key.bat
  •  Now you have two batch files loc and key. Double click loc to lock the folder or double click key to unlock the folder. If you lock a folder, it will change into control panel Icon and it works like control panel.

thanks Dipti for leaving your comments.

ohh... its looking like you are having trouble with this tricks... don't worry, it will become a child play for you.

what i had done here is...

say... i have a music folder in my c drive....and i want to hide that folder. Now what i need to do is... i have to create two different text files for that folder in the same drive (one for locking the folder and another for unlocking the folder). In first text file copy and paste this

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

if your folder name is not music then replace it with your folder name ( replace music with your folder name in the code). Now save it as "loc.bat". By clicking on this bat file you can lock your folder ( it will change to control panel icon).


for unlocking the folder create second text file in the same drive and paste this

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

Again, if your folder name is different then replace it in the code.... and save it as "key.bat". By clicking on this bat file you can easy unlock your folder.
