    Create a simple folder lock without using any software


    Here is how to do that -
    Create a new folder,rename it to a simple name like ex.
    Now go to its properties,and choose a sprite less icon,which isext to a Yellow lock icon in third row.

    Choose it,click OK and now folder will have no icon,literally invisible.Now to make it almost inaccessible,we must use some Batch renaming technique.
    Create a new text file in the same drive next to the folder and type this
    command statement into it-
    ren ex ex.{b5946137-7b9f-4925-af80-51abd60b20d5}

    Now save this text file as lock.bat. Similarly create another text file and type this command statement into it-
    ren ex.{b5946137-7b9f-4925-af80-51abd60b20d5} ex

    Save this text file as key.bat . Lock.bat will be used to make the folder inaccessible and Key.bat will be used to revert it into its original form.


    Now you have created the files,just double click the lock.bat file to make the folder inaccessible. Now the folder is invisible and also it cant be accessed by anyone.
    But still,it has a name. So,in order to completely hide it, Rename it and enter an ASCII code by pressing ALT+0160 which will enter a null character in place of name and it will have No Name.[]

    Congrats..Now you have created an inaccessible folder. To access it,just rename the folder into its original name and then click on key.bat . Now make sure to place the folder in a secure location and place lock.bat and key.bat in different locations . This simple folder lock is very effective as no one has idea that You can create it
