Any specific reasons for which you want to protect folders using DOS? I recommend using Folder Lock utility.vishalhakhello friends,

vishalhaknot any big reason, i am collecting information on hidden features of dos

crookI don't know if there is a facility to password-protect folders using DOS. You can use ATTRIB command to hide the folder!
ATTRIB [d:][path]filename [/S]
ATTRIB [+ R|-R] [+A|-A] [+ H|-H] [+ S|-S] [d:][path]filename [/S] -
vishalhakThanks for the information, but i needed something else.

psd_8989the following method works for windows98
with helpp of following method u can create folder that can not be accesed
from explorer , not even deletd .
folder that cannot be accessed from the Windows Explorer: Open MS-DOS prompt,
type mkdir followed by a space, then hold ALT key and type 251. Then release
ALT. Now you can save there anything you want to hide. Windows Explorer cannot
display the content of this folder. You can use these numbers instead of 251:
158, 159, 169, 176 to 224, 226 to 229, 231 to 240, 242 to 245, 247, 249, 252,
254 and 255.
For me, only 176, 249, 251 and 254 worked. To access this folder from windows,
just rename it into a normal name. To do so, open MS-DOS, enter the directory,
where your folder is placed and type ren followed by a space, then hold alt and
type the number, that you used when you created your folder. Press space again
and then type the new name of your folder. Press enter.
Pls submit such a trick for XP if any one found
