Locking Folders Without Software (Tip)

Ok, had a quick look and couldnt find this - apologies if its already been posted.

I found a way that u can lock a folder and it doesnt require any software.

Ok, in your local disk you had a folder called MSE i.e. C:\MSE
It doesnt have to be in root directory, can be anywhere

Right click on this file and select Rename or simply hit F2 on it.
Rename the name from MSE to MSE.!!21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}

Note MSE. prefix can be anything but it has to be something dot then !!21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}

By doing this, it changes that folder to show all control panel applets instead of your filees

It isnt foolproof obviously, and not as good as software that you buy. But a quick simple way to hide stuff.

To get your directory back, just rename it back to MSE
