How to lock any file or folder without any software

You can easily Lock any file or folder without any software


Hidden folders do not work as they can be easily searched with Windows Search. So, we need analternative way to create hidden password protected folders which only we can access. And that is exactly what we will learn in this post.

With this trick, you can create a secure password protected folder in Windows which no one except you can access. To use this trick, follow the instructions given below:- 
1. Open Notepad. 
2. Copy and paste the exact code given below:-


    cls 
    @ECHO OFF 
    title computer-tricks-corner.blogspot.com
    if EXIST "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}" goto UNLOCK
    if NOT EXIST MyFolder goto MDMyFolder 
    :CONFIRM 
    echo Are you sure to lock this 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 MyFolder "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 Your Secure Folder 
    set/p "pass=>" 
    if NOT %pass%== acomsolutions.blogspot.in goto FAIL 
    attrib -h -s "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}" 
    ren "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}" MyFolder 
    echo Folder Unlocked successfully 
    goto End 
    :FAIL 
    echo Invalid password 
    goto end 
    :MDMyFolder
    md MyFolder
    echo MyFolder created successfully 
    goto End 
    :End 

    3. Click on the File Menu. Click on Save As. 
    4. Select All Types (or all files) in the Save As Type dropdown menu. Save the file as *.bat or Locker.bat 

    After creating the file, double click on the Saved file. A new folder will be created. Enter your data in the folder. Again, double click on the batch file. Type Y and press Enter. The folder will be hidden from view.

    To re-view your folder, double click on the saved batch file. Enter password as 

    " computer-tricks-corner.blogspot.com " without quotes ("") and press Enter key. This is also the default password. Your folder will be visible again.

    To change the default password, edit the part of the code given in blue and enter your own password. 

    The overall usability of this trick can be improved by deleting the batch file after hiding your folder and re-creating it when you wish to access your folder again. 

    If you face any problem using this trick, you can write a comment and I will do my best to help you. 

    Note : This works on Windows 7, Windows XP and Vista. First try this on useless data to be sure and then only hide your personal data.
