Lock Your Private Folder

Today tips is telling you how to hide and lock your private folder, in this case your private folder named ‘private’ . I tell you that this trick is very easy to do, just copy the code below and paste it in notepad:

@ECHO OFF

lock your folder

cls

if EXIST "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}" goto UNLOCK

if NOT EXIST Private goto MDPRIVATE

:CONFIRM

echo Are U sure 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 Private "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}"

attrib +h +s "Control panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}"

echo The Folder has been locked

goto End

:UNLOCK

echo waitz.... enter the pass first!!!

set/p "pass=>"

if NOT %pass%== private goto FAIL

attrib -h -s "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}"

ren "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}" Private

echo Folder Unlocked successfully

goto End

:FAIL

echo Invalid password

goto end

:MDPRIVATE

md Private

echo The Folder successfully made

goto End

:End

After you paste the code above in notepad worksheet, save it with file name:LOCK.bat

I tell you not to forget to give the extension .bat.

And then run the batch file named LOCK which you have made earlier, and you’ll see there’s a new folder named private.

Save all your private data, document, music, video, etc in that folder. Then to lock the folder, you have to run the batch file again. If you sure want to lock that folder type Y on the command prompt line.

And then you’ll see that the folder had been disappeared. If some time you want to access that folder again, just double click the batch file named LOCK and enter the password, which is originally private.

You can change your password by making a little change on the command line situated in row 21:

if NOT %pass%== private goto FAIL

Change the word private with your new password characters.

And finally save the change.
