Follow these steps to lock any folder without using software.
STEP 1: Suppose you have a folder named abcd in D:\abcd.
STEP 2: In the same drive next to the folder create a new notepad file with following statement
ren abcd abcd.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}
STEP 3: Now save this file as loc.bat
STEP 4: Create another notepad file and type
ren abcd.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D} abcd
STEP 5: Now save this file as key.bat
STEP 6: Now you get two batch files(loc.bat and key.bat). Double click the loc.bat file and your folder will change into Control Panel and its content cannot be viewed.
STEP 7: To open the folder double click key.bat and you get back your original folder.
And that is it, you have locked and unlocked your folder without using any software.
NOTE: For more safety, keep the key.bat in another location. Only for unlocking copy paste to the original location and double click.
