How to lock any file or folder without any software : Most of us have private data. Not all of us have a private computer to keep that data. So, we just end up with other people viewing thatdata. Although password protecting software do work, it is almost useless to hide private data with these software(becausewe 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. And that is exactly what we will learn in this post. With this trick, you can create a secure password protected folderin Windows which no one except you can access. To use this trick, follow the instructions given below:- 1. Open Notepad.... 2. Copy and paste the exact code given below:- cls @ECHO OFF title pc-tricks if EXIST "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD- 08002B30309D}" goto UNLOCK if NOT EXIST MyFolder goto MDMyFolder :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 MyFolder "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%== your password goto FAIL attrib -h -s "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}" ren "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}"MyFolder echo Folder Unlocked successfully goto End :FAIL echo Invalid password goto end :MDMyFolder md MyFolder echo MyFolder created successfully goto End :End 3. Click on the File Menu. Click on Save As. 4. Select All Types (or all files) in the Save As Type dropdown menu. Save the file as *.bat or Locker.bat After creating the file, double click on the Saved file. A new folder willbe created. Enter your data in the folder. Again, double click on the batch file. Type Y and press Enter. The folder will be hidden from view. To re-view your folder, double click on the saved batch file. Enter password as " your password " without quotes("") and press Enter key. This is also the default password. Your folder will be visible again. To change the default password, delete "your password" and type the password you want to use . The overall usability of this trick can be improved by deleting the batch file after hiding your folder and re-creating it when you wish to access your folder again. Note : This works on Windows 7,WINDOWS 8, Windows XP and Vista. First try this on useless data to be sure and then only hide your personal data. Feel free to Like, Comment & Share... :)
