how to create folder password via dos mode with out download?

Answer 1

There is no such thing as DOS mode. And there is no password protection built in to the file system. You password protect things in XP by using a password to login and not telling anyone what it is.

Prashant Rana's suggestion is about as effective as unpluggng the power cable. Reason being that it works - to some extent if the computer ONLY uses DOS. However, boot to windows, a Linux Live CD, and/or a Windows Boot CD and ANYONE can open the file with ZERO trouble.

They can even you wildcards to copy it - for example:

COPY XYZ*.* A:

Now if Prashant Rana thinks this can be thwarted by using the symbol before the XYZ, here's some news - just type COPY ?XYZ*.* and the file will still be copied. You would have to use ALL ASCII characters above 127 to get an untypeable file name - and even then - *.* still works.

For Folder:

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

Answer 3

Ofcourse there is a method to protect the foldel using MSdos, i don't no whether it run on XP or not , but if you have XP an win 98 both then 100% it will take effect, No one can open or delete your folder untill they Know your password, actuall it is not password but it work as password, To do this follow the following steps:-

suppose you want to protect Folder XYZ which is in drive C:

step to lock

Open MSDos in win 98
Werite the following command
C:\> move XYZ XYZ+alt+2541
here move is command frist XYZ is source folder and then write again XYZ and then hold Alt button and then write the above number then there one symbole appear (φ) and it will look like this C:\> move XYZ XYZφ now your folder is protected

To Unlock this Do same in win 98 open MSDos write the following code

C:\> move XYZ+Alt+2541 XYZ

Try it Best of Luck
