    Can Somebody Explain This Code??

    I didnt know where else to put this, so Im putting it here.. I found this code to lock folders on the web

    http://www.hackingethics.com/blog/wp...08/05/lock.txt


    I would really appreciate if someone throws some light on this part of the code
    Code:
    if EXIST "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}" goto UNLOCK
    Code:
    attrib +h +s "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}"
    what do the numbers in the curly braces mean?? O_o

    Thanks!

    If you meant this one
    {21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}
    then it is a GUID (or UUID).
