how 2 lock any folder so no1 else can see it

Hide your folders from your parents

U can lock any folder without using any software.just use the codes given below u can redirect the folder to control panel, internet explorer etc., by renaming the files just paste the code for example if u have a folder in d: which is named "HELLO" then rename it to Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}. thats all ur folder will redirect to control panel. when somebody clicks on it it won't open but just redirect to control panel
here are the codes for each location

1-Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}

2-Internet Explorer.{FBF23B42-E3F0-101B-8488-00AA003E56F8}

3-Recycle Bin.{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}

4-My Computer.{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}

5-My Documents.{ECF03A32-103D-11d2-854D-006008059367}

6-Fonts.{BD84B380-8CA2-1069-AB1D-08000948F534}

to unlock the folder

Go to Start>RUN>CMD

If the folder is in d: then go to that drive
then type: dir/x then the folder is shown as for example with control panel it shows as contro~1.{21
rename this folder to any name using command "ren control~1.{21 myfolder" without quote ok
thats it all over..... U can lock and unlock the folder

This doesnt work on Vista

________________________
lets say i have a folder "MY" located in D:\My Documents.so after i make it control panel and when i want to rename it in cmd i write:

DIR "D:\my documents"

then i get list of folders in it.so i know the exact name of my folder..well lets say it was control panel..when i write:

REN "D:\My Documents\Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}" MY

and the i get back "MY" folger =]

Another way would be to
1. Right Click on a particular folder and go to properties
2. Click on the Security Tab and Select Deny Full Control.

Should you wish to go further
3. Click on Advanced.
4. Uncheck the "Inherit from parent the permission entries that apply to child Objects......."

To enable the Security tab
a)Go to the Folder options
b)Tools > Folder Options > View > uncheck use simple file sharing (recommended) - scroll to the bottom of the view window.

To ensure that the security tab doesn't appear, after steps 2 or step 4 redo steps a) and b). Ensure that the Checkbox use simple.... is checked
