Lock Folder
Want to lock a folder without using any software / password in Windows, follow these simple steps:
  • Go to start> run> cmd
  • In command prompt, Type cacls "path_of_folder" /E /P everyone:n
  • To regain access type: cacls "path_of_folder" /E /P everyone:f
Note: Do not lock C:\ drive using this trick otherwise Windows will not boot next time. I have already explained one more method of folder locking using Batch. You can check it from here.
