          In this trick i will show you how to lock a folder in windows without the need of any folder lock software. It is easy and anyone can do it. follow the below steps.

              1. Open command prompt  (you can open it by  start -> accessories -> command prompt)

                        or type  cmd  in run box.

                   2.  type  attrib +s +h "directory" in the command prompt.

                         the directory is the original directory of the folder you want to lock.

          example ::  if the folder is in D drive and the name is hello then type attrib +s +h d:\HELLO (there should be a space between these elements - attrib ,+s, +h and the directory)

                     Now you can see that your folder has disappeared from the original directory. The folder has hidden but its not like the normal hiding of a folder in windows. It would not available even from the folder option.
