Suppose, we have a folder containing some hundred very important files
and by accident someone deletes it permanently (even from the recycle
bin), either by mistake or to knock you into trouble. What happens?
Well, you are just doomed, that’s all. But don’t worry, because there
happens to be a so called inner “trick” with Windows by which we can create an ‘undeletable’ and ‘unrenamable’
folder inside which we can place our important documents. Through this
protection, you can really gain the security for your private folder.
It’s a bit old one but ‘protection from deletion’, hell yeah!!
Actually, the matter in this undeletable folder is the use of keywords or ‘reserved words’. Try to make a new folder in Windows & give it names like con, aux, lpt1, lpt2, lpt3 up to lpt9.
You won’t be allowed to create folder with above mentioned names, because they happen to be the reserved words in windows.
