Hey... It does not seems to work... I created a folder on my Desktop (called 123), I copied a file in it then attempted to lock it but nothing happened...

I've looked a bit at your code but it does not seems to really lock something...

This works by changing the extension of the directory so the windows system thinks it is the recyle bin.
The only problem is, all you have to do is drop down to the command prompt and rename it without the extension. So it's not very secure, but not bad for minimal security.
