  2. Folder lock issue unable to access data.

    Hi Team,

    I have created folder lock for specific files using command prompt and after that my OS got crashed and I have installed new windows OS, since then I am unable to access files but still the data is available, If I try to open file it shows an error stating
    "It appears that you don't have permission to view this file, please check the permissions and try again"

    Please help me out to access my data, below is the program used to create folder lock

    Program to lock the specific folder

    cls

    @Echo OFF

    title Folder Locker

    if EXIST "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}" goto UNLOCK

    if NOT EXIST Locker goto MDLOCKER

    :CONFIRM

    echo Are you sure u want to Lock the folder(Y/N)

    set/p "cho=>"

    if %cho%==Y goto LOCK

    if %cho%==y goto LOCK

    if %cho%==n goto END

    if %cho%==N goto END

    echo Invalid choice.

    goto CONFIRM

    :LOCK

    ren Locker "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}"

    attrib +h +s "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}"

    echo Folder locked

    goto End

    :UNLOCK

    echo Enter password to Unlock folder

    set/p "pass=>"

    if NOT %pass%==Enter your password goto FAIL

    attrib -h -s "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}"

    ren "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}" Locker

    echo Folder Unlocked successfully

    goto End

    :FAIL

    echo Invalid password

    goto end

    :MDLOCKER

    md Locker

    echo Locker created successfully

    goto End

    :End

    I have tried with following commands as per previous suggestions but it didn't work

    • You have to open the Command Prompt with Administrator rights.
    • Type this command: C:\Windows\system32>cacls <Folder Path> /E /P everyone:n
    • Now, click on the locked folder to check whether the folder is accessible or not. If you gets the deny message, it means your folder is still locked.
    • Now, you can go through the following command:
    C:\Windows\system32>cacls <Folder Path> /E /P everyone:f

    Try:

    takeown /F D:\siva\Locker /R

    Then:

    cacls D:\siva\Locker /E /P everyone:f

    Please guide me with all possible options it helps me to get back my valuable data.

    Thank you,

    Unable to access Zip folder created by "Steps Recorder" in Windows 10

    Thank you for the reply.

    I already have "hidden files" checked.

    - - - Updated - - -

    To clarify :
    1) Attempting to open file by clicking on it in the "Recent files" list I get the following:

    Data locked inadvertently. and unable to access. ble-access-zip-folder-created-steps-recorder-windows-10-a-attempting-open-file-recent-files-list.png

    2) Unable to find file where it is supposed to be located based on the "File location" path:

    Data locked inadvertently. and unable to access. 905t-unable-access-zip-folder-created-steps-recorder-windows-10-a-unable-find-file-path-location.png

    3) What I get when attempting to look at "Security" tab:
