Lock Folders in Windows OS without using any software

Today is 11.11.11
A special day, 
and today I'm going to tell you that how to lock/hide folders in Windows OS.


Many times you need to secure or hide your data or some confidential information such as passwords, or some adult contents in your personal computer or in office computer. I such cases you use some freeware or shareware encryption softwares. But almost all these softwares comes with some restrictions or with some drawbacks.
Now here I am going to tell you one simple and effective way to hide your data in your PC. Just fellow these steps to protect your files:

• First Open Notepad [Start-->Run-->Notepad]. In your Notepad just Copy/Paste the below code:

cls
:End
@ECHO OFF
title Folder Locker - chetanlive
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 Hello, Plz Enter ur password to Unlock folder:
set/p "pass=>"
if NOT %pass%==chetanlive 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


• Now save this notepad file as yourfoldername.bat
• Now Just double click on it you will see a Locker Folder at the same location where your .bat file is saved.
• Now store your all data into the folder named LOCKER
• 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.
• Now to view locker folder again double click on thas .bat file again and give your password (i.e. chetanlive) and press Enter button on keyboard.
• That's 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 you have any trouble in creating .bat file, here I'm  the ready made bat file

lock.zip - 543 B

and the password for this zip file and for the locker folder is chetanlive.
