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.
The COPY command
first of all u create a folder then use: attrib -h <foldername> to hide it. u can also lock folder using dos by usin number key ...
RD command is used to remove a directory (folder).
At the dos prompt (c:>), type md then a space, then the name of the folder you want to create. Example md foldername
Creates a new directory or folder.
RD command is used to remove a directory (folder).
CD..
It's the System folder. But if you are looking for windows/dos commands you'll find them in the Command folder
The MS-DOS 7 External Commands(Programs in the Windir\COMMAND folder)Table of Contents (the Programs)attrib choice command debug
open command prompt start --> run --> CMD go to the particular folder with commad "cd <space> folder name" enter the below command "dir >> list.txt" it will create a list.txt file in the same folder
You can do it by using "chkdsk" command.
To lock a file in DOS, you can use the ATTRIB command to set the file as read-only, which prevents modifications. The command syntax is ATTRIB +R filename, where "filename" is the name of the file you want to lock. Additionally, you can set file permissions using attributes like hidden or system. However, true file locking in DOS is limited, as it doesn't provide robust file locking mechanisms like modern operating systems.
