It is impossible if you have no other software but windows to lock folders, there is no Dos command can do the job.

I found how to create a folder or file named CON , LPT1 , COM1 etc...\n\nSTEP1: goto command prompt\n\nSTEP2: type in prompt e:&#92;> "mkdir &#92;&#92;.&#92;e:&#92;con"\n\nSTEP3: verify by typing "dir &#92;&#92;.&#92;e:&#92;con"\n\nSTEP4: delete the file or folder "rmdir &#92;&#92;.&#92;e:&#92;con"

Hi there...as I understand this it cannot be done with the HD or external drives until Leopard is released.  \n\nHere's a forum discussing about this too: http://forums.macnn.com/94/gui-customization/308380/how-i-lock-desktop-icons/

No, you cannot restrict access to the Shared Documents folder and you cannot restrict access to a hard drive either. You can encrypt the files in the Shared Documents folder and on the hard drive which would require a password to be entered to access the encrypted files. A good free encryption program is TrueCrypt (downloadable from pcworld.com)

if you were running Windows XP professional or a Windows 2003 server, you could right click on the files, check the "Security" tab, and restrict the access rights user by user. XP Home won't let you do that.\n\nIf you have Windows XP, you need to ensure that those Read-only rights (in the "Security" tab, mind, not that little read only checkbox on the "General" tab) are enforced on the users you want to enforce them on - explicitly specify only your superuser accounts (like Administrator) with greater rights. \n\nif you do this, I assure you - nobody, not even the computer itself, will be able to move these files. It will crash before succeeding...

well for me I just right click and under properties, i go to add passowrd. or i highlight th folder and rigth click scroll down to password protect. then i fill in my password. don't lose it, cause you won't be able to access it again if you do.\non my system if i lose the password. you won't be able to delete the folder either since it will be protected.\nnote- there is a glitch... the passworded folders are still accessible by browser if they know a file inside, by typing the "drive" name, "Folder", "subfolder", then "FILE" name. I do it easy by going to the browser and clciking then drive letter, opening the folders down to the passworded folder, then I search that folder with *.* and then pull the files from the folder without ever having to open the folder.\n\noh i forgot to add, i needed to also run Upnp so that the drive was accessible. once you can see your drive. IFF you have admin rights, you can unprotect the pin drive properies. But seeing as that you said you have a folder there, i take it your system sees the drive.

yes you can use this syntax\n\n    MKDIR [drive:]path\n    MD [drive:]path\n\n\nmd c:&#92;test\n\nmkdir c:&#92;temp

I tried in Command -Prompt in Windows XP, hope it is the same.\nI typed in [exit] (without the brackets).

I have been using Folder Lock for a few years now and it is brilliant - Not only does it lock your file/folders but it can also lock Hard Drives (partitions included) and removeable drives - If I lock G partition on my drive it makes it invisible to the outside world and that includes ALL files and folders locked too! Highly Recommend to all :\n\nhttp://www.newsoftwares.net/folderlock/

if the t drive is on your local computer you can download a program that will enable windows to ask for a password when opening folders.  programs that do this can be found here: http://www.download.com/3120-20_4-0.html?tag=srch&qt=password+folder&tg=dl-20\n\nif the t drive is on the server, you can only allow or disallow users/groups to have access to a folder.  you can't make it prompt for a password.  to restrict access, you will have to make this change on the server.

if you have a administrator account.\nthen you can take ownership of particular folder\n\n\nfor eg:\nchoose any folder you want to security right click over it then go properties then\nunder security tab go to advanced tab right above the apply button from here choose your user name then click change ownership something like that and finally press ok it take sometime to change ownership acc to your pc configuration after\nthis you can open this folder.

If you right click on the folder and then go to properties, a dialogue box should pop up. Then click on "hide". You can still access the folder, but it's hidden.

Try this-Startup with the "S" key on your keyboard held down. At the prompt type /sbin/fsck  -fy. If no errors are reported type exit,if errors-type it again until ok. When system fully boots to the finder go to utilities and open disk utility and "repair permissions". If you don't leave your computer on "overnite" you could also do this: Go to "utilities" folder,select terminal.app ; at prompt type sudo sh /etc/monthly. It will ask for your password. Then do the same command,but,substitute the word "monthly" with "weekly" then again substitute"weekly" with "daily"\nNote:"weekly" will take longer to perform,be patient. When done type "exit" and quit "terminal" See,that was easy!
