Tutorial: Protect Folders In Windows

Sometimes we have folders and files that we don’t want anyone to be able to read… banking information, taxes, porn, lots of things.

I was thinking of this, when I decided to peek around the web to find anything that may help; and although i forget the site, i DID find something quite handy. (http://www.bukisa.com/articles/108657_remove-stored-passwords-and-hide-floder-with-recycle-bin)

Basically, it turns any named folder into the “recycle bin” by using the CLSID of the recycle bin.  Interesting Stuff!

Like normal, I created a batch script for those of you interested.(http://ejesconsulting.wordpress.com/scripts/hidefolder-bat/)
