Yeah, right. You're not going to do this with just a batch file. You have to have some external utilities to do this. Oh, and if your trying to use that little trick where you change the folder/file name to a GUID, forget it. It's easily defeatable.

i want to assign a variable in that with %variablename% so please help for me

What variable name?? The only one there returns the path to the users local Temp folder. This just creates an old DOS .COM file that gets executed. The SBS2 utiluty just does a search and replace of a string in another file. It offers no password functionality what-so-ever.

Yep, I knew it. You're using the "GUID Trick" to "lock" folders. I'm sorry to say that this little trick is easily defeatable. As impressive as your batch file is, you're also wasting your time. I'll give you a hint. The folder isn't really "locked" to everything, only to Explorer.
