Hello Friends,

I am developing project on Activity Screen and system monitoring in C#.net. This is standalone application. In this application, every 10 seconds i want to capture the screenshots of the window. and store those screenshots in locked folder.

This is my Screen Capturing code:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Drawing.Imaging;
using System.Threading;
using System.Security.Principal;

namespace SystemMonitoring
{
    public partial class Form1 : Form
    {
        int pictureCount = 0;
        private static Bitmap bmpScreenShot;
        private static Graphics gfxScreenShot;
       
        public Form1()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
            
        }
        private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            this.Hide();
           
            for (pictureCount = 0; pictureCount - 1 < pictureCount; )
            {
                bmpScreenShot = new Bitmap(Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Width, Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Height, PixelFormat.Format32bppArgb);
                gfxScreenShot = Graphics.FromImage(bmpScreenShot);
                gfxScreenShot.CopyFromScreen(Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.X, Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Y, 0, 0, Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds.Size, CopyPixelOperation.SourceCopy);

                 bmpScreenShot.Save(@"D:\brinda\" + System.Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("COMPUTERNAME") + DateTime.Now.ToString("_dd-MM-yyyy_HH_mm_ss") + ".jpeg", ImageFormat.Jpeg);                
                
                Thread.Sleep(10000);
                pictureCount++;
                 
            }            
        }
    }
}

If you lock the folder, can't you unlock it, write to it, then re-lock it ?

No, Only admin can perform any operation on that folder.

Refer - Lock And Unlock A Folder (C#.net)[^].

When you want to save one new file inside the folder, just unlock it and then save the file. After saving, again lock the folder. That's it.

dear, i want to store the screenshots automatically in locked folder. I am making application of system monitoring, not a folder locker.
Answer is simple you cannot. You cannot put something inside the locked folder. While you save the screenshot, just unlock it and save the file. Then lock it again.
