How to create a secured and locked folder in Windows XP

Steps

To secure my "topsecret" folder in D directory.






Create a notepad file with this content:

ren topsecret Fonts.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}

Save the file as "loc.bat" in D directory itself (Where your folder is located. Ex: "topsecret").



Create another one notepad file with this content:

ren Fonts.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D} topsecret

Save the file as "key.bat" in D directory itself (Where your folder is located. Ex: "topsecret").




click "loc.bat" file to lock our "topsecret" folder.

Now the "topsecret" folder will turn into fonts and clicking on that folder will open the control panel.

To unlock that "topsecret" folder, click the "key.bat" file.

Now it will work fine......
