                                                                 Trick 1:

Consider you want to lock a folder named PICS in your D: whose path is D:\PICS

1. Open the Notepad and type

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

Where pics is your folder name.

2. Save the text file as lock.bat in the same drive.

3. Open another new notepad and type

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

4. Save the text file as key.bat in the same drive.

Usage :

To lock the pics folder, simply click the loc.bat and it will transform into control panel icon which is inaccessible.

To unlock the folder click the key.bat file. Thus the folder will be unlocked and the contents are accessible(Gas/Electricity)

NB: – It is safe as in case if you loose the key file, you can create it again but the folder name must be correct.

Trick 2:

1. Make a Folder in C drive rename it as “a” without quotes.

2. Now open Command Prompt .

3. Type “attrib +s +h C:\a” without quotes and press enter.

4. This command will Make your folder invisble and it can not be seen even in hidden files and folders.

5. To make it visible again type “attrib -s -h C:\a”

You can lock any other folder also by changing the location C:\a to address of your folder.

                                                                      Trick 3:

This trick is where it gets slightly more difficult.

This method, unlike the others, hides an entire drive instead of individual files or folders. Backing up registry is highly recommended before you use this method.

1. Go to Start -> Run and type regedit.

2. When the registry editor loads, navigate to:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer

3. Right click on “Explorer” and select “New” and “DWORD Value.”

4. Name the value NoDrives and select “Decimal” as the base.

5. In the value type the number that corresponds with the drive below:

A=1, B=2, C=4

D=8, E=16, F=32

G=64, H=128, I=256

(E.g. If you would like to hide drive E, type 16. You may also hide multiple drives by adding the two numbers. E.g. If you would like to hide drives E and G, 16+64=80.)

6. Now, after you restart your computer, you should not be able to see the drive.

                                                                      Trick 4:

This method allows users to hide files in a JPEG image:

1. Create a folder in C:\ e.g. C:\Folder1.

2. Put all the files you want to hide in there, as well as a JPEG image that you would like to hide the files in.

3. Select all of the files you want to hide, and create a ZIP or RAR file with them using a program like WinRAR, WinZip, 7Zip, etc.

4. Now you should have your archive next to your files that you want to hide, even though they are in the archived file already, with the JPEG image you would like to hide all of this in.

5. Go to “Start,” “Run,” and type: cmd.

6. Now type: cd \, then type: cd Folder1. (Of course, replace Folder1 with the name of your folder.)

7. Type the following: copy /b myimage.JPG + archivedthing.rar myimage.jpg

(Note: Replace the name “myimage” with the name of your image, and replace “archivedthing” with the name of your compressed file.)

8. You should receive a response similar to the following: “1 file(s) copied.”

9. To find the files in your image, all you need to do is right-click on the image and select “Open With…” and select “WinRAR” or the name of the program you used to archive the original files.

                                                Trick 5:

The below code in MS DOS will help you to lock folder/files without using any software. Though it can be easily cracked, will help you to lock to beginners of windows.

1. Copy the below code to a notepad and save it as Locker.bat

2. Replace this line “if NOT %pass%==password goto FAIL” with required password of your own.

3. Double click the Locker.bat file, this will create a folder calling “locker” on the current folder.

4. Place the file that to be locked on the newly created “locker” folder.

5. Double click the Locker.bat file.

This will make the locker folder to hide thereby locking the files inside them. To Unlock the files, double click the Locker.bat file and give the correct password.
