How To Lock Your Folder without a Software

The trick seems to work for some people here. What a pity it does not work for me.

This is really a helpful trick, liked it a lot, Thank you Angsuman.

this trick is not working in vista and windows 7…. i have the trick to folder or files lock for vista and windows 7…..!!!!
first right click on ‘folder’ or ‘file’.select property and then select security..click on ‘edit’ and then select ‘Administrator’ as user name and select check to ‘deny check boxes’ .then click ok. thn u will find that your folder get locked..and if u want to unlock the ‘folder’ or ‘files’. then follow same procedure and then uncheck the deny check boxes…thn press ok.
it is best method to lock the folders or files..:)

Good trick, but I prefer the use of on the fly encryption software (for example True Crypt), of any file encryption software like “Advanced Enryption Package.”

Only real encryption guarantees the real security of files… not simple tricks

Hey, i have a mac and it obviously doesnt work. is there something like this that i can use on my mac?

The trick will not work on Windows 7, will it?

hey men it works

hey it works…. tnx a lot … :)

Its not working in Vista OS

I tried , it works but tell me is there any way to unlock it onther key.bat file. if so plz tell me cause i must know the back up option.

how stupid nothing will happen

it is changed to control panel but its not returning to normal. i have lost too much data please help me

hey this is not working

Soumya ,Thanks Good Tweak..

Its not working your trick.that is flase. i try 4 times on vista os

please sent some tricks to lock the folder

Hi Soumya
it works . But there is one problem which one guy has
already told that if u just delete the extension(.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}) one can access the folder contents. That way it is not safe.
I think we are just renaming the folder in Lock.bat file.
Is there any other way out .
I have tried this on windows XP. Not sure whether it works for vista or not.
Thanks,
Akshay Bali

Wowwww….nice…..

its such a fantastic trick

great

It works thanks, but i would better go for desksense. The beta version is free, but its only for a limited period. ..lol. Its much more secured than using your own tricks. They even got Usb Lock,File lock an website block. Quite a useful one.

But either ways ..thanks.

Hi
Its first half working while cliking in key bat file i cant retirve the folder it still showing control panel please hepl me

Hey man … it works ..

thanks i was looking to lock my folder with no progs ..

thx

It works, Thanks alot….

it worked!! just be sure that u make it right!! its very helpful but im little scared if some data will be lost!!

It can works, thanks.

IT DOES NOT WORKS
WASTE OF TIME

AND I GUESS A BETTER OPTION IS TO GO TO TOOLS AND SELECT FOLDER OPTIONS AND THEN VIEW AND THEN HIDE THE FOLDERS.

ANYWAYS ITS ONLY FOR HIDING THE FOLDERS ……..

it works ……..
but on clicking right n going in properties of mhm forlder which now works as a control panel as u specified but if u del {21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}dis part following folder name ie mhm den apply the required changes . it will b treated as ordinary folder and all the data can be accessed. widout double clicking on key batch file . so dis way u can open it .so i think its not safe ……..

this technique doesn’t work.. it simply create 2 batch files of no uses…if u r simply making database of emails to send ur mails then its a good technique..lols..

Hey this doesn’t work. I am using vista and after creating the both the batch files, and after clicking on the loc.bat the folder is still opening.
