How to make private folder in windows.

By making a folder private in windows you are making sure that it remains private i.e it cannot be viewed,copied or deleted without proper rights. Lets see how we can do it?
Go to CMD:
Type: "cacls newfolder /E /P everyone:n" without quotes.
Now the folder "newfolder" is private,no one can view,copy or delete it.
If you want to reverse the process then Type: "cacls newfolder /E /P everyone:f" without quotes.
Now its back to previous state.

CACLS(Modify Discretionary Access Control List). cacls is now depreciated and icacls is used. Check its various options and workings by typing "cacls /?" or "icacls /?"
