• Open My Computer and go to File Menu>>Tools>>Folder Options>>View Tab(Press alt button to show file menu bar in windows vista).
• Scroll down and check the option which says - “Show Hidden Files and Folders” and uncheck the option which says - “Hide Protected Operating System Files(Recommended)” and click ok.
• Now Open any drive from my computer you will find a folder named RECYCLER( this is a hidden as well as system folder).
• Copy this folder any where and rename it according to your choice and paste your private files into this folder.
• Repeat the step 1 and check the option which says - “Hide Protected Operating System Files(Recommended)” and click ok.
• That’s it! Done.Now go to the location where you pasted and renamed that folder called RECYCLER ,you will notice that folder is invisible even if the setting called “Show Hidden Files and Folders” is checked, so you have finally created a ultra hidden folder in windows.

Logic Behind This - All the system folders in a windows system are automatically hidden so when we check the option “Show Hidden Files and Folders” all the hidden folders are shown but as due to the setting called “Hide Protected Operating System Files(Recommended)” is checked due to which all the system folders which are automatically hidden are not shown so they become the ultra hidden folders which are not shown due the overriding settings.As a normally no one uncheck this setting “Hide Protected Operating System Files(Recommended)” because it is recommended not every one will easily find this ultra hidden folder in windows xp or vista.

LOCK ANY FOLDER:

Yes thats right. You can lock any folder without using any software.Follow these steps.

• Suppose you have a folder named “folder” in D:\folder
• In the same drive next to the folder create a new notepad file with the exact statementren folder pradeep.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}
• Now save this text file as “loc.bat”
• Create another notepad file and typeren pradeep.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D} folder
• Save this as “key.bat”
• Now there are two batch files . Double click “loc.bat” and your folder will change into Control Panel and its contents cannot be viewed .
• To open the folder double click “key.bat” and you get back your original folder .
• For more safety keep the batch files “loc.bat” and “key.bat” in another location .Only for locking and unlocking copy paste to the original location and double click.

If you combine this with the hidden folder trick, it will be impossible for anyone else to access it.
