This is a similar problem that one that i accidentally has some days ago wasnt able to delete somefiles because accidentaly add some strange chars in the path.PB wrote:As an experiment I watched what "Folder Lock" did with FileMon (see below).
So to lock its "Locker" folder it was doing something with adding ")8$5(" to
the folder's path and playing with its attributes. Still can't work it out, though.
Nope. I tried but still same until i use the software i told there.PB wrote:> This is a similar problem that one that i accidentally has some days ago

Tell me: did my "kill explorer.exe" let you delete them? Because as far as
I know, that always works with files in the way you described them (I've
had the same symptoms for undeleteable files in the past).
Hiding the folder purposely is a big no-no, and may be illegal in certain jurisdictions (several states sued or prosecuted Sony for it with their root-kit fiasco when Sony used $sys$ to hide folders/files/processes). Just set the folder permissions to allow your app the only access. Something else to remember also, several worms/trojans/viruses either search out or create hidden folders in which to hide their files which makes getting rid of these things especially hard to do sometimes (several such pieces of malware took advantage of the Sony root-kit hidden folders to hide their destructive payloads.)PB wrote:
@Fluid Byte: The reason I need it is to protect files from deletion. If you
encrypt such files, they can still be deleted. Also, the files can be large,
such as my MP3 folder -- encrypting over 2000 files is not the right way
to do it, as they'd also need decrypting just to hear them. So hiding the
folder, or just making it locked, is a far better and easier alternative.
But I note files within it can still be launched with RunProgram. Still, it's
a good way to stop people opening folders that they shouldn't be in.
