Heres What you need :
Some common Sense and a very little knowledge of DOS Commands.

How to do it :
You have to create Two files and the folder to lock.

File1. Lock.bat ---This file will lock the folder.
GoTo Notepad, Enter the following command


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


Save the file with "lock.bat"

File2. Unlock.bat ---This file will Unlock the Folder.
GoTo Notepad, Enter the following command

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


Save the file with "unlock.bat"

Done you have created your personal Hiding/Locking Software.
Using it :
Say you have your "ASD" Folder in d: drive, Copy these two files in the same parent path of directory. Now to Lock Simply Double click "Lock.bat" Folder is locked Now.
Try opening it now.
"uuuhhh!!! i am redirected to Control panel !!" thats what you are going to say.
now double Click "Unlock.Bat" to make your folder normal.

Getting Deeper In it :
