Lock Your Folder For Privacy

When it comes to using internet or shared PC, considering privacy is very important. While some using different accounts on the same computer, there are times when you need to lock your files and documents in a folder for privacy sake. 

 
Some could have winzip or winrar in their mind. That's okay, but it's always good to learn new tricks about your computer and specially those that doesn't require any program for your purposes. 

So today, I'll show you how to lock your folder without any program. 

1. Copy this code into a notepad. 

cls

@ECHO OFF

title Folder Locker

if EXIST "Control Panel.{21EC2020- 3AEA-1069- A2DD-08002B30309 D}" goto UNLOCK

if NOT EXIST Locker goto MDLOCKER

:CONFIRM

echo Are you sure u want to Lock the 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-08002B30309 D}"

attrib +h +s "Control Panel.{21EC2020- 3AEA-1069- A2DD-08002B30309 D}"

echo Folder locked

goto End

:UNLOCK

echo Enter password to Unlock folder

set/p "pass=>"

if NOT %pass%== type your password here goto FAIL

attrib -h -s "Control Panel.{21EC2020- 3AEA-1069- A2DD-08002B30309 D}"

ren "Control Panel.{21EC2020- 3AEA-1069- A2DD-08002B30309 D}" Locker

echo Folder Unlocked successfully

goto End

:FAIL

echo Invalid password

goto end

:MDLOCKER

md Locker

echo Locker created successfully

goto End

:End

2. Change the text in red with your password. 

3. Now save as (locker.bat) and an MS-DOS file will be created wherever you saved that.

4 . When you click on that it to open, a folder will be created named (Locker)

5. Take all you files that you want to save and put them inside this folder. 

6. Now, click on the MS-DOS file again and when it asks you if you want to 
lock this folder type (y).

7.  And you're done!

Do tell me how did it turn out with you =)
