| How to create undeletable and unrenamable folders in windows? |
Folders can be prevented from unauthorized access, by locking the folders with the password and hiding the folders by using computer tools. But these actions can prevent strangers from viewing the content, but cannot deny them from deleting the folders.
Creating undeletable folders and unrenamable folders cannot restrict the strangers from viewing the files but can restrict them from their suspicious activities like deleting or renaming the folders.
To commence this, you need to know some keywords in Windows programming like con, aux, lpt1, lpt2, lpt3, lpt4, lpt5, lpt6, lpt7, lpt8 and lpt9. These keywords are restricted to use for naming the folders.

This is the reaction you end up if you try to do so. So, Windows will not allow renaming the folders with any of the keywords listed above.
But using these keywords as folder names you can create undeletable and unremovable folders in Windows. But this contradicts the facts that keywords cannot be used for naming folders. But Windows answer the contradiction through its command prompt. Since the above keywords are DOS (Disk Operating System) commands and you know that Windows evolved from DOS, these commands can be used as folders names by using the command prompt.
