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).

How to lock folder using DOS command?

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.
