Trick to protect your files and folder using notepad, without any third party folder lock software.
1. Open notepad
2. Copy and Paste the code in notepad
Start copying from next line (non-highlighted text only)
cls
@ECHO OFF
title Folder Secure
if EXIST "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}" goto UNLOCK
if NOT EXIST Secure 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 Secure "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 the Password to unlock folder
set/p "pass=>"
if NOT %pass%== srikanth goto FAIL
attrib -h -s "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}"
ren "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}" Secure
echo Folder Unlocked successfully
goto End
:FAIL
echo Invalid password
goto end
:MDLOCKER
md Secure
echo Secure created successfully
goto End
:End
3. Save as locker.bat (locker is the file name which is optional, you can put your own file name and ".bat" is mandatory without quotes).
file type : All files (set this in your notepad under the file name)
4.Create a New Folder anywhere, now copy this locker.bat file to your New Folder
5. Double click on Locker.bat
-->A New Folder will be created with file name "Secure"
--> Now copy your files or folders to this "Secure folder"
-->come back and again double click on "locker.bat"
-->You will be prompted "Whether to lock the folder Y/N"
-->Click Y to lock or N to return back, (CAPSLOCK doesn't matter, it accepts both)
-->When you click Y, the folder (Secure) will be locked and hidden
6. To open the hidden locked folder, Double Click on "Locker.bat"
-->You will be prompted to "Enter Password to Unlock"
--> srikanth --->It is your default password
7. Now Folder (Secure) will appear and you can access to your files.
ENJOY THE TRICK...............!
