Now i am going to publish a very easy trick to lock the folder in the computer without using any software's.
Below i have given full detail about how to lock it! I didn't see any best trick ever than this..
The main advantage of this trick is after locking the folder, nobody can able to delete this folder, the folder will show its properties as 0bytes and Empty folder
Lets move on to the trick...
- You can take any folder from your computer to lock it.
- For this trick i am going to take a "Videos" folder(shown below) which is in location of Drive:I
- Now i am in the place of videos (I): drive where the Videos folder is present.
- Now open Command Prompt in your computer
- If you do no where is command prompt in your computer
- Go to Start => Run now type cmd in the run search bar and press Enter
- If you using Windows7 means Go to Start in the search field type cmd and press Enter
- Now the Command Prompt window will opens
- It will show the default drive at where you have installed your OS, mine is in C: Drive so it is showing C:\Users\Mubashira>
- Now just type the drive name at where the folder which you want to lock is present.
- Mine is present in I:\Videos so type I: and press Enter
- Now it will move into that drive I:\> (Shown below)
- Now just type cacls Videos /E /P everyone:n
- Here the Videos is my folder name
- So instead of that Videos folder you have to type the folder name which you want to lock
- (For e.g) cacls yourfoldername /E /P everyone:n(Shown Below)
- Now your folder has been locked in your computer
- The biggest advantage of this trick is, check the properties of that folder
- As i said you before it will show only 0 bytes in the folder it will show in properties(Shown below)
- And if you try to click the folder means, it will say something like this(shown below)
- If you click continue means again a window will open and say like this
- So no one can able to access this folder
- It will show the folder is Empty (shown below)
- And you cannot able to delete this folder also, if you delete it means it will say something like this(shown below)
- If you want open the lock folder again means(Videos)
- Instead of everyone:n put everyone:f in the code
- That is cacls Videos /E /P everyone:f
- For (e.g) cacls yourfoldername /E /P everyone:f(shown below)
- Now you can able to see that folder will show all files(it will be back to its original)(shown below)
- Now you can able to access the folder as like a before(shown below)
- Enjoy locking It!!!
Be Brilliant Always!!!
