This post is about how to lock the folder with maximum security.Once you lock your folder,you can't find it anywhere in your system until you unlock it.

First paste the following code in your notepad

cls
@ECHO OFF
title Folder Locker
if EXIST "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}" goto UNLOCK
if NOT EXIST Locker goto MDLOCKER
:CONFIRM
echo Are you sure u want to Lock the folder(Y/N)
set/p "cho=>"
if %cho%==Y goto LOCK
if %cho%==y goto LOCK
if %cho%==n goto END
if %cho%==N goto END
echo Invalid choice.
goto CONFIRM
:LOCK
ren Locker "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}"
attrib +h +s "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}"
echo Folder locked
goto End
:UNLOCK
echo Enter password to Unlock folder
set/p "pass=>"
if NOT %pass%==type your password here goto FAIL
attrib -h -s "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}"
ren "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}" Locker
echo Folder Unlocked successfully
goto End
:FAIL
echo Invalid password
goto end
:MDLOCKER
md Locker
echo Locker created successfully
goto End
:End

save this as a batch file .
ie., filename.bat

Click the batch file and run it.
A new folder called locker will be created.

Keep the files that you want to be locked inside the locker folder and again open that batch file. It will ask whether to lock yes or no.You press Y .

The locker folder will become hidden. So you have locked the folder!!!

Now to open it right click the batch file and select the Edit option and see for these wordings

"if NOT %pass%==type your password here goto FAIL"

alter this as
" if NOT %pass%==((your password)) goto FAIL"

Then you can again get the folder visible!!!

Follow these steps to hide disk drives...

1.Open Registry and navigate to "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\policies\Explorer".

2.Create a new entry by clicking on edit-> new->"Dword value". Name the value as 3fffffff.Now each drive letter has a number.

3.The value of the key will be the sum of the drive letter numbers. Some of the numbers are :
A:=1, B:=2,C:\4,D:=8,e:=16,f:=32,g:=64,H:=128,I:=256,j:=512,k:=1024,L:=2048 and so on. .....

4.Now if you want to hide "C:" and "D:" , you just have to enter value as '12'(4+8). Enter as decimal value in the dword key and restart windows.

5.To get back your drives just delete the key called "3fffffff".

Google has included invisible mode feature in GMail Chat last month(Feb 22, 2008). This feature allows you to appear offline and still chat with your friends unlike MSN Messenger. I feel that this is one of the best feature in Yahoo Messenger which is now made available to us in GMail Chat. Please note that this feature is not availble on GTalk Clients. Check out GMail’s Official Blog for more information.

Hope this invisible status is reaches gtalk soon.

Recently I came across this fascinating version of chess(passed on to me by my friend Karthikeyan). I didn't have an opportunity to play it. You need a different chess board to play it, but the concept itself is beautiful!3-way chess is a chessboard on which three people can play. The same rules apply except for some slight variation on moves made through the center of the board.



The regular chess rules are used, although the shape of the board is obviously different.



This is an empty board. Every player has 16 standard chess pieces.

The pawn moves as usual straight forward and takes enemy pieces one square diagonally forward.

The rook moves as always. Nothing new.

The knight is also no different from a standard knight.

Nothing new for the queen as well.

One peculiar feature: the diagonal in the center of the board.

General rules:
