Note- Its different from Invisble as well hidden folder....here you need to have a password with which you can open your folder.

Here is the Code:

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 stuff by satish

echo Enter password to Unlock folder

set/p "pass=>"

if NOT %pass%==TYPE UR 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

Instructions:

1) Copy the code above in a note pad and give it a name - name.bat (that is with the extension of .bat).

Replace name with anything you want.

Save the "*.bat" file where you want your locked (and not visible) folder on your pc.

Note-- In the code where it says "TYPE UR PASSWORD HERE" - type your desired password (no quotes ").

Your password can only contain letters and numerals - e.g. 0-9 and A-Z. Can use Caps but No symbols

2) A batch file will be created where you have saved.

Now double click on it, A folder with the name locker will be created in the same folder

where the batch file is saved.

3) Now add the files you want to be locked in that folder.

4) Double click on the batch file.

It will ask about locking the folder.

Type y(yes).

The folder will be locked and hidden.

5) To unlock, double-click on batch file again and enter the password in the new window opened.

6) The password can be changed by any body if they find this ".bat" file!

So, make sure that you the name is not so obvious and put this in some place not so obvious.

Not very many people will be looking for a .bat file.
