Have you ever tried to hide folders containing ur private documents or having in appropriate contents from other people using ur PC… in all probability each n everyone of you hav atleast tried it once .Now what do most ppl do ?
Just make the folder hidden…but guess you cant be sure that no one will be able to access it .My bro who is in 6th standard nos wat to do in order to view hidden folders
The second option is installing a software like folder lock ..but then most of these software comes with a 30 day trail ..n u will hav to store all the contents in one particular folder specified by the software you cant just hide any folder of ur choice..and the presence of the software itself means that there is something that you want to hide …any case it will make the other users all the more suspicious about wat u want to hide …so wats the soln?
Here is a cool trick which I accidently found while I was trying to rename my Recycle Bin using registry editor ..the trick goes here
Rename any folder with extension {645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}
e.g.,
if you've a folder movies
press F2,
then type, "movies.{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}"
c the Result!!
Instead of the folder youll see the recycle bin option ..and whoever clicks there is directed to recycle bin
then 2 get to original form,
just rename the folder to anything else and remove the key….
Now let me tell you wat is happening ..as I told u I was trying to rename my Recycle Bin to “Arka’s dustbin” I tried to modify this key {645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E..this is the recycle bin key ..after that I just copied the key to the folder name and whew ..even I was surprised by the result …..
If u hav some more kool stuff like this plz don’t forget to add comments
2moro ill try the same thing with 'My computer' ,'Control panel' registrty keys .lets c Wat happens whether the same logic works out for them also**i hav received around 4-5 mails telling me that they havent been able to get their folders to the original state after being renamed into 'Recycle Bin' by the above method
here is a soln
go to command prompt and rename the folder there. Eg:- If the folder is in C:\Temp\ABC, then get to C:\Temp in the command prompt and type:
REN ABC.{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E} ABC
(Command Prompt supports CLIPBOARD. Copy-Paste will work there.)
Your folder will be back to normal state.
Note that this does not provide a reliable security to the data. It can be used just to prevent data from other novice users accessing your PC.
Many fake-folder softwares work by this method. You can also search the registry for more relevant keys like these.
**this method can be easily be cracked by any one having even an intermediate knowledge also there is no guarantee that data will remain as it is ..so don try it unless necessary
