How Do You Lock The Folder Using Command Prompt In Win Xp?

I am not aware of any way to lock access to a folder directly using command prompt, but there are alternative similar methods. There is an excellent post on the “Computer Tips From A Computer Guy” weblog, that details how to make a folder work as a link to the Control Panel (locked), or simply open and show the contents (unlocked). His method involves using a batch file to change windows reference to the folder. He also provides an alternative method using a 3rd party freeware application called Free Hide Folder, which hides the folder completely, the only way to restore it is open the application and provide a password. Hope it helps you.
