oK so i found this tutorial on youtube that teaches you how to make a batch file that makes a folder invisible/untouchable, and in order to access the folder you need the password(which you type in the batch file)

here's the code

Code:
cls

@ECHO OFF

title Folder Personal

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

if NOT EXIST Personal 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 Personal "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 goto FAIL

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

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

echo Folder unlocked successfully

goto End

:FAIL

echo Invalid password

goto UNLOCK2

:FAIL2

echo Invalid password

goto end

:MDLOCKER

md Personal

echo Folder created successfully

goto End

:UNLOCK2

echo Last chance to enter correct password to unlock folder

set /p "pass=>"

if not %pass%==password goto FAIL2

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

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

echo Folder unlocked successfully

:End

ok so here's my problem.
I made the batch file on my desktop, and put all my important files into it(not porn), then put the batch file into another directory,
and now i can't access my important files because they stay invisible/untouchable.
Wacko

and i was just wondering if i can retrieve them. If anyone can help.

Make a new batch in the same folder that the secret folder is hidden, and put this

Code:
@echo off

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

rename "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}" "Secret Folder"

del %0

First of all, if you want to hide a folder or put a password on it you should just follow my tutorial here or just zip it up in winrar and make a password for it.

For your problem, put the batch file on your desktop and then try running it.

Just a tip, becareful about batch codes you get on youtube, some contain code that can destory or maliciously download a link and run a virus.

Yeah, I've made a batch folder locker/hider more than once before.

Folders should be stored in the root of your C:, like C:\Secret, and when hidden and locked, they should be in C:\Windows\Sys. The pass is stored encrypted in the registry.

You could try reverting the pc to before it was added but some elses tutorial could be better.

I actually never got my files back because they were somehow deleted,
I assumed that, so I was wondering if they still existed and were taking up space, but I solved the problem. thanks anyways.
