It probably happens, that someone deleted a folder which contains important files and folders inside it. There are many software’s online by using you can protect your files and folders. I am writing a simple tutorial which will guide you to make an undeletable folders in Win Xp to protect your data.These folders can be deleted in Dos prompt only. So normal computer users will not be able to delete these folders.

Follow the simple steps >

Step 1 : Open Command Prompt (Start > Run > type ‘cmd’). Then a command prompt will be appeared.



Step 2:Change to the directory in which you want to create your folder. Like c: d: etc. I changed to D: drive.

Step 3 : Now its time to crate an undeletable folder. Type md /aux/ and hit enter. It will create a folder named aux in drive D.


Step 4 : Go to D drive and try to delete folder named aux which we created just! It will give u following error.


Step 5: Try to delete in normal way, it will give you an error message whenever you try to delete it. There are many other names which you can use for
creating
folders.

  • lpt1 to lpt9 ( Ex. md lpt1\ )
  • CON
  • AUX


How to delete this Folders ?

Go to Command Prompt. If you want to delete folder named aux then type rd aux and press Enter. Thats it. This command will delete folder named aux.
