Steps To Lock Folders & Files With Password

• Create a New Folder.

• Inside the folder, open any .txt (wordpad or notepad or word document) file. 

• Copy the below code

cls
:End
@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%==123456789 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

• Paste it in the txt file opened. 

• Now replace 123456789 with your own password.

• Then go to File & select Save as. Change the file type from '.txt' to 'All Files' and name it as 'lock.bat'.
•  
• Now return to the folder and Double click the 'lock.bat' file & close the cmd window which pops out.

• Now You will find a new folder named 'Locker'.

• Drag the items which are to be protected into this 'Locker' folder. 

• Now double click on the 'lock.bat' file, a cmd window will open.

• It will ask you "Are you sure you want to lock your folder? Y/N?" 

• Press Y and hit Enter & Close the cmd window. The 'Locker' folder disappears.

•  To unlock your folder double click the 'lock.bat' file, type the Password and press Enter. You will see your 'Locker' folder.
