I downloaded and installed a Programme called 'Lock My Folder 1.50' which is a good programme to safely lock your important data files, folders and hard disks.
One of my friend had recommended this to me and I was using trial version when the problem started.
I downloaded the Programme in my D Drive and installed the programme Lock My Folder in the D Disk itself.
And when I wanted to test the programme, I made the mistake of locking the D Disk itself.
Now when I start my computer and double click on D Drive, it says ACCESS DENIED.
I am not very good with technical things, can someone please answer me in easy to understand, stepwise instructions how can I unlock my Hard Disk 'D' now please?
A patient answer and resultant help would be very sincerely appreciated. I really need help here.

Well, I know I saw it somewhere, but I don't remember. So I found it in the help. I think. Go to windows help and type in lock. Then go to the bottom knowledge base, and choose the one that says files locked or access denied. May be the first one. There is a lot there so I would suggest printing it out if you can. The only other thing was ctrl+alt+del to lock the computer. Hope this adds to the help.

I don't know that program myself, but wouldn't you just be able to run it again and unlock the D drive again? And if you can't, try downloading it again, and running it from another drive. If you can't do that, contact customer services for the makers of the program to see if they can help you.

Is there a help file online that explains the unlock procedure?
Have a look.

you could try going into safe mode and uninstall the program
or do a system restore to the day before you installed the program or if all programs are installed to c: drive a fresh install might help format c:drive reinstall windows
