Secure Folder in 2k/XP without using tools

[con_tester]

Hi Guys,

M going to give you step by step solution for securing your folder in 2k/XP/ or maybe in 2k3 i didnt try...

Step 1:
---------
choose the folder you want to protect. [Ex: c:myFolder]

Step 2:
---------
Copy the following text

{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}

Step 3:
--------
Right clikc on your folder [Ex: c:myFolder] and then click on rename.

when edit text is highlighted, at the end of the text type . and then

paste the above text. for ex:

myFolder.{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}

Voila whtz that.. your folder looks like Recycle Bin.. and when you

double clikc on it it will redirect you to recycle bin.

Step 4:
---------
Reverse Engineering ;-)
Press WindowKey R and this will open your Run Window then type CMD

and press ENTER. after when you are in DOS Shell map to folder PATH [in

my case -- cd c:] and then type dir/x [*dir/x :: is used for view

windows98 type dir tree..] and then rename your folder name.

EX:

c:>ren myFold~1.{64 myFolder [press Enter]

Voila you successfully done reverse enginnering also:: ;-)

PS: for more security check the dont show system and hidden folder.

Lol .. Even I wondered why he was banned till I saw this (http://www.thinkdigit.com/forum/search.php?search_author=Ashwin+Saxena) .. Guess what he started some 15 threads in General section .. all worthless ..

But lets not deviate this topic .. Nice trick there Ashwin .. I'll try it when I am home ..

I never started 15 wortless threads at a one time.
My password was cracked. I allready said that I was offline for 3-4 months.

Hey, There was a software in contributions folder on the digit DVD for this!! I think that would be easier when you don't have to remember that big no.

Password was cracked :o .. How come .. I dont know of any measure to crack MD5 .. You can only gain the password with keyloggers ... And if someone indeed brute forced, your password wouldve been obvious one ...
