Create a Locked Folder in Windows XP
To create a locked folder we need to create two batch files.
The first batch file will “lock” the folder (actually it will turn
the ordinary folder into a link to the Control Panel using an
address code), and the other one will “unlock” it. When
someone tries to access that folder, he will be redirect to
Control Panel(we can in fact type in any address code so
that the user could be redirected to wherever we want). You
should hide these batch files, especially the second one.
Steps :
1. Create a folder, that you will use to store your protected
data. For this example, I created a folder called “locked”,
and put that folder in My Documents.
2. Open Notepad and copy this code ren "Folder name"
"Folder name".{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-
08002B30309D} “FOLDERNAME” change in to name of your
folder, in this example “FOLDER NAME” is locked.My code
looks like this ren locked.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-
08002B30309D} locked Save notepad file like lock.bat in My
Documents. In option Save as Type, select All Files
3. Open another notepad file and copy this code ren "Folder
name" {21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}
"Folder name" , Save file as in Step 2, just choose a
different file name , like unlock.bat If we open (double click)
lock.bat our folder will turn into a link to Control Panel, and
the files will not be visible. until
we use unlock.bat
