if NOT %pass%==type 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

• In the above batch code the password has been set as kamlesh. You can change it by editing the following line

if NOT %pass%==kamlesh goto FAIL

Now save this notepad file as yourfoldername.bat ,here .bat is extension of your file. For now I am creating kamlesh.bat file.

• Now a .bat (system) file will be created.

• Double Click on this .bat file and you will see a Locker Folder at the same location where your .bat file is saved.

• Double click on that Locker folder and store your personal data in it.

• After storing all your data in that folder again double click on .bat file and press Y there to Lock the folder and press Enter.

• Now your Locker will hide and only .bat file will be there.
• Double Click on this .bat file and give your password (here kamlesh) and hit Enter.

Thats it. Now every time you want to open your secret folder you have to enter the password. You can update this folder any time and infinite number of times. If any thing wrong then recreate .bat file with same password.


Second Method :


Copy and paste the code given below in notepad and 'Save' it as batch file (with extension '.bat'). You can put any name.



Now you see a batch file. Double click on this batch file to create a folder locker. New folder named 'Locker' would be formed at the same location.



Now bring all the files you want to hide in the 'Locker' folder. Double click on the batch file to lock the folder namely 'Locker'. If you want to unlock your files,double click the batch file again and you would be prompted for password. Enter the password and access the folder.


Code :



if EXIST "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}" 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-08002B30309D}"
attrib +h +s "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}"
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-08002B30309D}"
ren "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}" Locker
echo Folder Unlocked successfully
goto End
:FAIL
echo Invalid password
goto end
:MDLOCKER
