Encrypt Folder / File Manually

Hi GuyZ,
   I would like to share a trick to encrypt File & Folders manually...
Encryption of File/Folder helps to prevent unauthorized use.

First you need to rename the File/Folder need to encrypt.
Add an extension to it ".{2559a1f2-21d7-11d4-bdaf-00c04f60b9f0}".
Example encrypt.{2559a1f2-21d7-11d4-bdaf-00c04f60b9f0}



Next execute a command to hide the Encrypted File/Folder.
 The Command is,
attrib +s +h encrypt.{2559a1f2-21d7-11d4-bdaf-00c04f60b9f0}
It will hide the File/Folder...

 To get back the File/Folder execute another command

attrrib -s -h encrypt.{2559a1f2-21d7-11d4-bdaf-00c04f60b9f0}
ren encrypt.{2559a1f2-21d7-11d4-bdaf-00c04f60b9f0} encrypt

The above command is for change attribution of Folder/File and to rename it.
I have Created an application to automate these functions.
