Lock Folder Without any Software

Securing confidential and personal data is always considered as a sophisticated task. You can use freeware third party softwares like Axcrypt, Disguise Folders etc... to encrypt your data.

If somehow you can’t use these softwares (installation restrictions  ) then you can secure your data using notepad. This tric...k works in windows XP, Vista and Windows 7.

::Just do as i typed below::

  First Open Notepad [Start-->Run-->Notepad].

  In your Notepad just Copy/Paste the below code:

code :

cls

 :End

 @ECHO OFF

 title Folder Locker - Gstek

 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%==pradipchavda 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

In the above batch code the password has been set as pradipchavda. You can always change it by editing the following line

Code: [Select]

if NOT %pass%==pradipchavda goto FAIL

Now save this notepad file as yourfoldername.bat

  Now a .bat (system) file will be created. Just double click on it you will see a Locker Folder at the same location where your .bat file is saved.

  Double click on that Locker folder and store your personal data in it.

  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.

  Double Click on this .bat file and give your password (here gstek) and hit Enter.

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.
