how do we protect folders in Windows XP......

how can we do that...

i have observed that some small technique turns out the folder we wanna hide into a recycle bin folder type and no files are visible!

how is that???????

i believe you are referring to hidden folders. to make a folder hidden, simply right-click on the folder, go to Properties, select "Hidden" and press OK. to be able to see hidden folders, go to tools>folder options>view>show hidden files and folders.

You might want to make it a system folder too. So it doesn't show up when people have hidden folders visible. You can even do it through the command line.

Just go to start >> run and type

attrib +h +s "c:\path\to\folder"

and enter.

To make it visible again:

attrib -h -s "c:\path\to\folder"

off course it's stil can be visible when you uncheck "Hide Protected operating system file (Recomended)"
