    I have tried in vain, all the methods googling suggested, for removing the lock image from the icons for certain batch files. There are very few of these where the lock persists, despite changing 'forceguest' in the registry. For these 'locked' files, their context menu lacks the 'share with' option. Is there a way of 'unlocking' these few 'select' files ?
