Hi. I add here solution that maybe useful for someone: https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/26933022/How-to-lock-out-a-file-or-path-from-within-a-Delphi-app.html question: How to lock out a file or path from within a Delphi app? proposal: try this; rename the folder you want to test to; from: New Folder1 to: New Folder1.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C} So, when your Delphi program rans?, it rename back to New Folder1 rename file code; lock folder; renamefile(New Folder1, New Folder1.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}); and back unlock folder; renamefile(New Folder1.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}, New Folder1 ); explanation: {ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C} is one of several special names that the Windows systems recognize and treat in different ways. For instance, the control panel 'folder' has a special icon and there are some things you are not allowed to do with the folder or its contents. I think this particular folder identification was introduced in Win7. Many writers have named it the "God" folder. more info: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Master_Control_Panel_shortcut https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/insider/forum/all/god-mode-other-windows-10-tips-tricks/9e81e023-9179-4b59-9937-f1e9aab537b4
