Knowledge Is Everything

We are going to create a folder and password protect it, without using a software.Follow the steps on how to build it.

1)Copy paste the code given below to a notepad file.

cls@ECHO OFFtitle Folder Locker
if EXIST "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}" goto UNLOCK
if NOT EXIST Locker goto MDLOCKER
:CONFIRM
echo Do you want to Lock this folder(Y/N)
set/p "cho="
if %cho%==Y goto LOCK
if %cho%==y goto LOCK
if %cho%==n goto END
if %cho%==N goto END
echo Invalid choice.
goto CONFIRM
:LOCK
ren Locker "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}"
attrib +h +s "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}"
echo Folder locked
goto End
:UNLOCK
echo Enter your password to Unlock Folder
set/p "pass="
if NOT %pass%==Enter your password here goto FAIL
attrib -h -s "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}"
ren "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}" Locker
echo Folder Unlocked successfully
goto End
:FAIL
echo Invalid password
goto end
:MDLOCKER
md Locker
echo Locker created successfully
goto End
:End

2)Edit the “Enter your password here” section with your desired password.

3)Now save this notepad file using .bat extension. You can save the file using any name. I did it with the filename as locker.bat .

4)Double click on this locker.bat file.You can see that a folder named “Locker” is created.

5)Copy the files to hide, to this folder.

6)After copying,click on the locker.bat file again.Now a command window will be opened ,asking
“Do you want to Lock this folder(Y/N)”

7)Type Y and then press Enter to lock the folder.Now the folder is hidden.

8}If you want to open and see the contents of this folder again double click on the locker.bat file. A command window will be opened ,asking
“Enter your password to Unlock Folder”.

9)Type your password here and press enter.Then the hidden “Locker” folder will be visible to you.
