NOTE: do it on our own risk.
- The following method works for windows98
- with help of following method u can create folder that can not be accesed from explorer , not even deletd .
- folder that cannot be accessed from the Windows Explorer: Open MS-DOS prompt, type mkdir followed by a space, then hold ALT key and type 251. Then release ALT.
Now you can save there anything you want to hide. Windows
Explorer cannot display the content of this folder. You can
use these numbers instead of 251: 158, 159, 169, 176 to 224, 226 to 229, 231 to 240, 242 to 245,
247, 249, 252, 254 and 255. For me, only 176, 249, 251 and 254 worked.
- To access this folder from windows,
just rename it into a normal name. To do so, open MS-DOS, enter the directory, where your folder is placed and type ren followed by a space,
then hold alt and type the number, that you used when you created
your folder. Press space again and then type the new name of your
folder. Press enter.
- It's simple. Assuming ur file system is fat32 and u r using windows 98 second edition (i think it works in xp also). First go to the location using dos (either dos full mode or the ms-dos in windows start menu). Rename the folder using the ren command and rename it to ascii mode (with a secret code). U should not forget this code. No one else will can delete or open the folder.
Eg.: C:\ Games (this is the folder I've on my C drive) I go to dos start->; programs ->; ms-dos dos window will open. C:\ ren games Alt+158 (here we are renaming the games folder using the
Alt key & a three digit number on the numpad (only numpad, it's
important). U need to press the Alt key and the three digit code at a
time. The code can be any three digit less than 255 (in my opinion) u can
try Alt+164, Alt+176 etc. Ur folder is renamed & locked too at the same time Now u won't see the games folder it'll be written in some ascii code Again to open the same go to dos and rename it using the ren command. Eg: C\ ren Alt+158 games
