lock folder without any software..

[awil]

hey guys..there's some step that u can do to make a private folder..

follow this step:

1- copy this text and paste it in notepad



Quote: cls
@ECHO OFF
title Folder Private
if EXIST "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}" goto UNLOCK
if NOT EXIST Private goto MDLOCKER
:CONFIRM
echo Are you sure you 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 Folder locked
goto End
:UNLOCK
echo Enter password to unlock folder
set/p "pass=>"
if NOT %pass%== password here 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
:MDLOCKER
md Private
echo Private created successfully
goto End
:End



2- After u copy the command go to line 24 and u will find "password here" Change it to any password u want.

3- After that, save it as ".bat" example lock.bat

4- save it anywhere u want to locate the private file.example i save it on my desktop but u also can save it in my document ,etc.

5- Click on it & u will find a new folder called Private.

6- Now copy what u want in it & after that go to locker.bat by clicking it, it will open and ask you if you want to lock your folder? Y/N ?

7- Type Y

8- If you want to UNLOCK your folder, go open locker.bat & type your password and the Private folder will be made visible again.


note: the password can be easily known by anybody by right click on the file and click edit..you can edit the password..for security convert the .bat file into .exe file using 'bat to exe converter'

here's the download link for bat to exe converter :

Good tutorial but in my opinion My Lockbox is much simpler. But like you said, this doesn't require software.
