3.  Now, take File menu and click Save  (The Save As window appears)
4. Here, Select D drive in the Save in option and give File name as "Lock.bat" (with quotes)
5. Click Save and close it.

Now open D drive where your folder DATA is, there should be a file named Lock, Double click it. Now the folder DATA's icon will be changed to Control Panel icon.
Try to open the folder DATA, it will open the Control Panel instead of your folder. It is Locked!!
