Folder lock in Windows XP

Manual tweaking is the primary goal of this site and its applicable to this tweak too.

To Lock a folder in windows XP we need not use any third party tool.

We can do it manually using two small commands!!

Now, How you can do it ??
 

1. Create a folder and name it as say, “lock”. I’m creating it in the C drive.

2. Open command prompt

3. Now type   "attrib +s +h C:\lock"   without quotes and press enter.

This command makes the folder “lock”   invisible, you can’t even see the folder in hidden files and folders.

4. To make the folder visible again type  in the command prompt "attrib -s -h C:\lock".

That’s it!!!!!
