Answer» How can you make a folder undeletable on Windows 2000/win XP. I'm not aware of any file attributes that make this possible. Usually files marked non-delete are protected system files (usually hidden) which are vital to the OS or files that are in use by another process.
If someone knows the answer, please share it with the rest of us.
So is there a way to create a protected system file?Not really. Windows has a mechanism (sfc) where it can protect it's own files. Since the definitions of those files reside within the OS itself, everything stays stable. On the other hand you can create encrycpted folders where you can password protect your files.
On a multi-user MACHINE, files PLACED within the %userid% DIRECTORY are unreachable by other users.
What are you trying to accomplish and why is this question in a DOS forum?
I want to make a folder that other people cant delete(PREFERABLY USING a password) and i wanted to know if theres a way of doing it with DOS
