Lock Your Computer Folder Without Any Software

Now you can protect your sensitive files and folders without using a software base lock. In order to secure your privacy on your pc, u might need to lock certain folders. Although password protecting software do work, it is almost useless to hide private data with these software(because we are always questioned as to what it is that we are hiding with the help of these software). Hidden folders do not work as they can be easily searched with Windows Search. So, we need an alternative way to create hidden password protected folders which only we can access.

Follow the easy steps

• It’ll only take a couple of steps and you’re done. The default password is “yourpassword”. This is the only thing you’re gonna change in the code.
• Copy the below code.
  
  

  cls
  @ECHO OFF
  title Folder Locker
  if EXIST "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}" goto UNLOCK
  if NOT EXIST Locker goto MDCAPRIOFILES
  :CONFIRM
  echo Are you sure 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 password to Unlock Your Secure Folder
  set/p "pass=>"
  if NOT %pass%== yourpassword 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
  :MDCAPRIOFILES
  md Locker
  echo Locker created successfully
  goto End
  :End

• Save this file as “locker.bat”.
• Now double click on locker.bat.
• It will create a folder named Locker with automatic lock. After creation of the folder, place the contents (your files & folders) you want to lock inside the Folder,
• Double click locker.bat again. It will ask to lock the folder Y/N. If you press y then enter. it will lock the folder and your folder will be hidden.
• To unlock run locker.bat again, it will ask to enter password, type in correct password then enter, you can see your folder back.
• Please don’t change anything except password, otherwise this lock may does not work.

Note that: ***The default password is “yourpassword”. This is the only thing you’re gonna change in the code.***
