Many people have been asking me for an alternative way to lock folders without the use of any alternative software. So, here you go.
Open Notepad and copy the below code and save as locker.bat. Please don't forget to change your password in the code it's shown the place where to type your password.
Now double click on locker .bat
First time start , it will create folder with Locker automatically for u. After creation of the Locker folder, place the contents u want to lock inside the Locker Folder and run locker.bat again .
I hope this comes in handy
cls
@ECHO OFF
title Folder Locker
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
md Locker
echo Locker created successfully
goto
End
:End
Try it....
