Be careful with hidden files. Some system files are hidden for a good reason. I will assume you use Windows : 1. Open Windows Explorer; 2. Click on Tools; 3. Click on Folder Options ..; 4. Click on View tab; 5. Click on Hidden files and folders; 6. Select Show hidden files and folders; 7. Click OK; 8. Delete the icon; 9. Set option back to Do not show hidden files and folders (for security reason if you are not the only one using the computer).

I am not aware of any way to lock access to a folder directly using command prompt, but there are alternative similar methods. There is an excellent post on the "Computer Tips From A Computer Guy" weblog, that details how to make a folder work as a link to the Control Panel (locked), or simply open and show the contents (unlocked). His method involves using a batch file to change windows reference to the folder. He also provides an alternative method using a 3rd party freeware application called Free Hide Folder, which hides the folder completely, the only way to restore it is open the application and provide a password.
