Lock folder without software



We everyone like to hide something from others. Sometimes it is so essential also. Now a days Computers are now called as PC (Personal Computer). The Computer Users may have some personal data what is so essential, important and seriously personal. So he/she needs to keep this types of files/folders hidden from others. But it is so easy to find out the normally hidden files. So some of the Computers Users use third party software to lock or hide their personal data. There are some free software also for this purpose. But I will show you here that how to hide a folder more securely without any software. It's so easy and secured. You just need to learn some coding. None can find out your hidden folder without knowing the file name and location. So if anyone know this process also then he will fail to find out your hidden file. Hope you will like this way of hiding Folder. Lets know the process.


Step 01
At first you need to open RUN Command Box. So go to Start and then click on RUN. You may also open RUN Command Box by pressing windows+R.
Step 02:
Now type cmd as the RUN Command and press Enter or click on OK button. Now the following window will open.

Step 03:
Now type Attrib +H +S E:/Download as the command. But remember here Attrib +H +S is the command and E:/Download is the folder name and location in my HDD(Hard Disk Drive). So you have to replace E:/Download with your folders name and location. Suppose you have a folder in G Drive and the name of the folder is Personal. So the code to hide the folder will be Attrib +H +S G:/Personal. Now press Enter from your Keyboard after typing the command. Nobody will be able to find out it as they don't know about the folder name and the location. Close all of the explorer window and again go to G Drive. Where is the folder named Personal dude? The folder is hidden mow.

Step 04:
Don't worry you have to also type some code to unhide your Folder. Again open the RUN Command and type Attrib -H -S G:/Personal to get back the hidden file again. Close all the opened explorer and re-open G Drive to get the folder.

You have to know the rules given below:
01. You have to type the code just like Atrib<space>+H<space>+S<space>E:/Download
02. You should not keep any space in the folder name. For example "My Data" will not be acceptable to hide. That means the folder name should be "MyData".
03. This hidden file will be unhide after re-installing an Operating System again.
