This is easy process to folderlock with out any software
follow the instructions its a helpful trick
1.copy and Paste the code given below in to notepad and 'Save' it as batch file
(with extension '.bat').
2.Any name will do.
for example :- David.bat
if EXIST "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D**" goto UNLOCK
if NOT EXIST Locker goto MDLOCKER
:CONFIRM
echo Are you sure u want to Lock the folder(Y/N)
set/p "cho=>"
if %cho%==Y goto LOCK
if %cho%==y goto LOCK
if %cho%==n goto END
if %cho%==N goto END
echo Invalid choice.
goto CONFIRM
:LOCK
ren Locker "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D**"
attrib +h +s "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D**"
echo Folder locked
goto End
:UNLOCK
echo Enter password to Unlock folder
set/p "pass=>"
if NOT %pass%==type your password here goto FAIL
attrib -h -s "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D**"
ren "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D**" Locker
echo Folder Unlocked successfully
goto End
:FAIL
echo Invalid password
goto end
:MDLOCKER
md Locker
echo Locker created successfully
goto End
:End
3.Then you see a batch file. Double click on this batch file to create a folder locker.
4.New folder named 'Locker' would be formed at the same location.
5.Now bring all the files you want to hide in the 'Locker' folder. Double click on the batch file to lock the folder namely 'Locker'.
If you want to unlock your files,double click the batch file again and you would be prompted for password.
Enter the password and enjoy access to the folder......cool.

Hey guyz...
You already know that File/Folder can be eaisly hidden by Right clicking on that ,and Ticking hidden Check Box and again clicking on OK .....
BUT, by doing that your File/Folder can be easily find by Showing hidden files and folders in folder options or even by searching technique....
BUT here I've a cool trick
which cannot be found either by searching or by any other way....interesting then follow these steps :
First create the folder which you want to make private Ex: foo and is created in
D:\ drive..
now open CMD prompt and type D: then you can go to D drive and now type
attrib +h +s foo "foo is the folder which you have created"
and see your folder will be hidden .....
and if you want to access you folder again
just open CMD prompt again and in D drive type: attrib -h -s foo
and your folder will be visible again.....WOW that's it....

To NTFS or not to NTFS—that is the question. But unlike the deeper questions of life, this one isn't really all that hard to answer. For most users running Windows XP, NTFS is the obvious choice. It's more powerful and offers security advantages not found in the other file systems. But let's go over the differences among the files systems so we're all clear about the choice. There are essentially three different file systems available in Windows XP: FAT16, short for File Allocation Table, FAT32, and NTFS, short for NT File System.
FAT16
The FAT16 file system was introduced way back with MS–DOS in 1981, and it's showing its age. It was designed originally to handle files on a floppy drive, and has had minor modifications over the years so it can handle hard disks, and even file names longer than the original limitation of 8.3 characters, but it's still the lowest common denominator. The biggest advantage of FAT16 is that it is compatible across a wide variety of operating systems, including Windows 95/98/Me, OS/2, Linux, and some versions of UNIX. The biggest problem of FAT16 is that it has a fixed maximum number of clusters per partition, so as hard disks get bigger and bigger, the size of each cluster has to get larger. In a 2–GB partition, each cluster is 32 kilobytes, meaning that even the smallest file on the partition will take up 32 KB of space. FAT16 also doesn't support compression, encryption, or advanced security using access control lists.
FAT32
The FAT32 file system, originally introduced in Windows 95 Service Pack 2, is really just an extension of the original FAT16 file system that provides for a much larger number of clusters per partition. As such, it greatly improves the overall disk utilization when compared to a FAT16 file system. However, FAT32 shares all of the other limitations of FAT16, and adds an important additional limitation—many operating systems that can recognize FAT16 will not work with FAT32—most notably Windows NT, but also Linux and UNIX as well. Now this isn't a problem if you're running FAT32 on a Windows XP computerand sharing your drive out to other computers on your network—they don't need to know (and generally don't really care) what your underlying file system is.
The Advantages of NTFS
The NTFS file system, introduced with first version of Windows NT, is a completely different file system from FAT. It provides for greatly increased security, file–by–file compression, quotas, and even encryption. It is the default file system for new installations of Windows XP, and if you're doing an upgrade from a previous version of Windows, you'll be asked if you want to convert your existing file systems to NTFS. Don't worry. If you've already upgraded to Windows XP and didn't do the conversion then, it's not a problem. You can convert FAT16 or FAT32 volumes to NTFS at any point. Just remember that you can't easily go back to FAT or FAT32 (without reformatting the drive or partition), not that I think you'll want to.
The NTFS file system is generally not compatible with other operating systems installed on the same computer, nor is it available when you've booted a computer from a floppy disk. For this reason, many system administrators, myself included, used to recommend that users format at least a small partition at the beginning of their main hard disk as FAT. This partition provided a place to store emergency recovery tools or special drivers needed for reinstallation, and was a mechanism for digging yourself out of the hole you'd just dug into. But with the enhanced recovery abilities built into Windows XP (more on that in a future column), I don't think it's necessary or desirable to create that initial FAT partition.
When to Use FAT or FAT32
If you're running more than one operating system on a single computer, you will definitely need to format some of your volumes as FAT. Any programs or data that need to be accessed by more than one operating system on that computer should be stored on a FAT16 or possibly FAT32 volume. But keep in mind that you have no security for data on a FAT16 or FAT32 volume—any one with access to the computer can read, change, or even delete any file that is stored on a FAT16 or FAT32 partition. In many cases, this is even possible over a network. So do not store sensitive files on drives or partitions formatted with FAT file systems.

Fed-up of wasting your time installing your Operating System (Windows etc.), drivers and other programs again and again?
Think about it, how much time does it take for you to reinstall Windows and then all your needed programs?
(approx)
Installation of
Windows: 40Mins
Drivers: 20Mins
Programs: 40Mins
Total: 1 hour 40 mins at least!!!
We are going to do that all in 15 mins only!
We need to re-install Windows (Or any other OS) frequently when it stops its efficiency or gets messed up due to many cluttered dependencies and modifications.
Here we go!
Basically, what we are going to do is to create a blind image for our C: (or system) drive. Here we will be using Paragon Drive Backup (Version 9 in this article). There are many other programs available for making image from disks: eg. Norton Ghost.
Installation of Paragon Drive Backup
* Download Paragon Drive Backup 9 (or newer version)
* Install it. (Ofcourse you know how to install it)
* Create a rescue CD or rescue removable pendrive using Recovery Media builder or similar option.
* You are done! Your bootable recovery (backup) CD is ready!
Preparing for a backup
(We are talking about C: Drive)
* I would recommend you to do this procedure after a fresh installation of your OS. This will help you save the most stable and compact backup.
* Install all the drivers.
* Install all your important programs.
* Recommendations: Install at least basic programs, an antivirus program (update it too)
Backing up the drive
* Insert your recovery media that we created just now (CD/pendrive)
* Reboot your PC/laptop using the recovery CD/pendrive - Media (you can do so by pressing Del key or F12 key before windows starts. Choose CD/pendrive as first boot device)
* Choose the option "Simple Backup" or similar and select the C: Drive and provide a destination where your backup will be saved (Not C: of course! You can burn the backup to a CD/DVD or a removable storage too!)
* Choose compression level. More the compression level, smaller the size, more time will the backup take.
* After specifying all this, the menu would show: Pending actions. Click on perform or similar option.
* Wait for the backup to be completed.
Restoring the Backup - Whenever you need it.
* Now that you have backup (image) for your C: Drive, you can easily Boot up your PC/Laptop using the recovery media (created above).
* Choose the source backup (image) file. Also provide the destination as C: Drive.
* It would show Pending Actions. Click on Perform.
* Wait for the restoration to be complete.
* After restoration, boot up your PC/laptop using HDD.
* Voila! You are done! Your PC/laptop will now have a fresh installation of Windows along with drivers and basic programs installed. All this within 15 mins!
