    Let me show you how to lock a folder without a software!

    Steps:


    1- make a new folder ( name it as you like )

    2- inside this folder make a ( TXT ) file & copy inside it this (the entire thing)


    Quote:
    Quote: cls
    @ECHO OFF
    title Folder Private
    if EXIST "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}" goto UNLOCK
    if NOT EXIST Private goto MDLOCKER
    :CONFIRM
    echo Are you sure you 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 Private "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%== password here goto FAIL
    attrib -h -s "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}"
    ren "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}" Private
    echo Folder Unlocked successfully
    goto End
    :FAIL
    echo Invalid password
    goto end
    :MDLOCKER
    md Private
    echo Private created successfully
    goto End
    :End

    3- After u copy the Commanding go to line 23 (or try using shortcut- CTRL+F and type password to locate the line) u will find this word : password here (Change it with any password u like.) is :

    eg: if NOT %pass%== narnia1234 goto FAIL
    //so ur password here becomes narnia1234 .//

    4- After that go to ‘save as’ & name this file as "locker.bat "

    5- Now back to the folder & u will find a ( LOCKER ) commanding.
    (locker.exe)

    6- Double Click on it & u will find a new folder (Private )

    7- Ok ,, now copy what u want in this "private Folder" & after that come out of the folder, and Double click on locker again. It will open and ask if you want to lock your folder? Y/N ?

    8- Type Y. your private folder will dissapear.

    9- If you want to UNLOCK your folder ,go to (locker) & type your pass and you will see your private folder.

    it not only hides the fodler, but incase, u unhide all files... and try opening it without entering password, it'l take u to the control panel...

    Also, if u want to store files on your Pen-Drive, u can use this script. No Software Required

    Incase u delete your Locker file (just in case), then u can make a new one (but with the same password) and open it from that.

    Alternatively, u can keep this locker file somewhere else, and when u want to open ur folder, only then bring it back to that place ..
