Create Undeletable and Unrenamable folders on Computer(Windows)

     MAKE UNDELETABLE & UNRENAMABLE FOLDER

For Windows operating system, we have a lots of security tools

available to protect our files and folders from unauthorized

access. We can lock them in a hidden vault using software like

Folder Lock, put password on folders/files using Password

Folder and many powerful locker software.

So, if you have such kind of requirement then don’t go for such

folder/file locker software. There is a very simple Windows trick

which will help you achieve your aim i.e., “provide only viewing

rights to your content and block delete and rename actions from

those folders” without using software or script at all.

Basic Understanding

Windows have some reserved words for folder names: con,aux,

lpt1, lpt2, lpt3 up to lpt9. It will not allow you to create folders

using any of these names. Try creating or renaming any folders

with these names and Windows will throw out an error message

that The specified device name is invalid.

Creating Folders

1. Go to Start Menu and then click Run (or press Win+R)

    to get Run dialogue box.

2. Type cmd and hit enter to open Command Prompt.

3. we can’t create such folders in root drive i.e., where Windows is     installed. So, if your Windows is installed in C: drive, type D: or     E: in command prompt.

4. Now, your command prompt is in D: (or E:) drive. Type md con\     command to create folder with name “con” (md=makedirectory).

5. Now browse to the location (D: drive) and you’ll see a folder just    created there with name con. You can use any of the   windows        reserved keywords such aux,  lpt1, lpt2, lpt3 up  to lpt9 to create     folders with these name through command prompt.

6. Add your movie,games and another important   things into the        folder.

Now try to delete them you will be unable to delete or rename these folders.

 

 Remove Folders

1. Open command prompt.

2. Type D: or E:, the drive letter where you have created the folder.

3. Type rd con\ command to  remove  the  folder named        con(rd=remove directory).

4. Now, open the drive, you’ll not find the folder here as it has been    deleted.
