Lock Files By Win Rar and Win Zip

If u wanna lock a file with a password ...u can do so using win rar..
 Almost all archives support giving password, including WinZip, 7-Zip and it's not something special with Win Rar. But Win Rar is more comfortable than any other.

And if you are setting access like this, it is better you set the compression level to "Store", which will make the compression and decompression faster, since the main aim here is to set a password.

1)Right click on the file for which u want the password to b put.
2)Click on "Add to Archive".
3)Then go to Advanced tab.
4)Click on set password...choose new password.
5)Click ok.
6)A win rar file with ur filename will be created.
7)Next u may delete the original file, as u have now compressed it with a password.
8)Any1 trying to open the rar file wont be able to, unless he knows the password.

So, no need of folder lock software.

MAKE YOUR OWN ICONS

It's shockingly easy to create your own icons in Windows XP. Let's do it:

1.Click Start, click All Programs, click Accessories, and then click Paint.

2.On the Image menu, click Attributes. Type 32 for both the Width and Height of the document, and make sure that Pixels is selected under Units. Click OK

to create a new 32x32-pixel document: the size of an icon.

3.Now add type, color, or do whatever you'd like to your image. I like to shrink photos (headshots work best) to 32x32 and simply paste them into my Paint document. When you're finished, open the File menu and click Save As.

4.Use the dialog box to choose where you want to save your file, then give it a name followed by ".ico" (without the quotes), and click Save. (The extension ".ico" tells Windows that it's an icon file.)

5.You just created an icon! Now you can change any shortcut or folder to your own icon—just browse to it on your hard drive.

SUPER HIDDEN FOLDER:

You probably already know how to create a hidden folder......but the problem is that anyone with access your computer can acces you hidden files or folders......this tutorial teaches how to create a superhidden folder.......hope you like it......

Step 1:

Right Click on the folder you want hidden, then select Properties

Step 2:Click on the Customize Tab then Click on change icon

Step 3:The Change Icon box will pop up with the default Windows Icons (If it does not, then click on the Browse button and navigate to your WINDOWS\system32 folder and then find and choose SHELL32.dll then click OPEN

Step 4:Then Scroll to the right and look for a blank icon. Select the blank icon then click

Ok.And now to get rid of the icon text.

Step 1: Open My Computer then tool and then Folder Options

Step 2: On the View tab check mark Hide Extensions For Known File Types then Click Apply

Step 3: And now right click on the icon that you want to remove it’s text, then go to Rename

Step 4: Now, what you need to do, is hold the ALT button down. With the ALT button held down, and using the keypad type 255 then release the ALT button and hit enter, and voila you now have a untitled icon.This trick will work only for icon, if you are creating multiple Blank Text icons then you will need to name them like this:

For 1 Blank Text Icon: ALT + 255 (release ALT)

For 2 Blank Text Icons: ALT + 255 (release ALT) ALT + 255 (release ALT)

For 3 Blank Text Icons: ALT + 255 (release ALT) ALT + 255 (release ALT) ALT + 255 (release ALT) And so on…

The reason we need to do this is because part of Windows XP rules state that you cannot have a file/folder/shortcut with the same name in the same folder. To get around this restriction, we simply name the first icon with 1 blank space, the second icon with 2 blank spaces, the third with 3 blank spaces and so on.And you have an Super hidden folder.

To perform an emergency shutdown, press Ctrl+Alt+Del to display Task Manager. Open the Shut down menu and hold down the Ctrl key as you click the Turn Off command. Poof!

In this situation, you'll get a warning message pointing out-quite correctly-that this should be used only as a last resort.
