For me it was the answer in task which lead me to this page. Because of people like you somebody will not find it in their similar task.

OP was asking how to lock an existing file. Creating a folder with the same name is not possible. "A subdirectory or file xxx already exists" so your answer is not applicable to the problem in the question.
