Secure a folder by redirect it to my computer and hide the content


In this tutorial I am going to tell a way to hide the contents of a folder on your computer. In this method we are locking a folder by changing it to My Computer and if any one click on it it will go to My Computer Window. To perform this task follow the steps below.
1. Rename the selected folder as follows
Assume we need to lock the folder with name siju. To perform this we need to rename the folder as siju.{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}
Secure your folder without any third party tools
For more security you can change the name as My Computer.{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}
The folder will look like My Computer icon now. Double click on the folder it will redirect to My Computer window.
Folder is redirecting to My Computer
Unlock the folder
1. Go to command prompt
2. Type the following command there.
c:\ ren My Computer.{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D} My Computer
Press enter.
3. Now the folder will come back to Normal.
If the folder is not in C:\ we can create a bat file with the above command and run it there.
