Lock Folder with out Software

Everyone of us have some private files on systems which we do not want others to access them. Some hide those files on computer and some others use software or password to protect them. But using a software leads to many problems, also when we format our system the software will be removed automatically which causes your protected files to be public. So , it is good to password protect a file on computer using a simple notepad trick by using .BAT extension.     Open Notepad and paste the following program in the notepad.  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  Now Save Notepad as FolderLock.bat. 3. Now double click on FolderLock.bat file then you will see a new folder named as Locker is created. 4. Save your files in Locker folder then again double click on the FolderLock.bat, a prompt is displayed. 5. To lock the folder(Locker) press "y " in the prompt, to unlock press "n"  in the prompt.
