With the default icon set, when you open a working copy in Explorer,
locked files should appear with a lock overlay icon. The lock icon does
not appear on folders since folders can't be locked.
If you wish to avoid losing locks on commit, there is a "Keep Locks"
checkbox in the Commit dialog which prevents locks from being released
when committing.
I think more importantly however, you should explain what you're trying
to do. If you're moving parts of your tree around, why are you not just
using the Subversion / TortoiseSVN Move command? Why try to use locks to
do something they're not designed for?
