lock any folder in XP

Lock any folder without using any software
1. Suppose you have a folder named sharma in D:\sharma.

2. In the same drive next to the folder create a new notepad file with the exact statement
ren sharma sharma.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}

3. Now save this text file as loc.bat

4. Create another notepad file and type
ren sharma.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D} anjali_sharma

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 sharma with the folder name)
