This will show you how to be able to lock and unlock a folder with a password in Windows 7 without having to use any 3rd party software.
Here's How:
1. Create a new folder ( name it as you like ):
2. Inside this folder make a ( TXT ) file & open it.
3. Copy and paste this code inside the New Text Document:
Code:
Quote:
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
:End4. After u copy the Commanding go to the bold words (or try using shortcut- CTRL+F and type password to locate the line) u will find this word : password here (Change it with any password u like.) is :
if NOT %pass%== example1234 goto FAIL
//so your password here becomes example1234 .//
5. After that go to Save as… & name this file as “locker.bat “. Be sure to change the “Save as type” from “text” to “All Files” :
6. Now back to the folder & u will find a ( LOCKER ) commanding (locker.bat). Double Click on it & u will find a new folder (Private ):
7. Now copy what u want in this “private Folder” & after that come out of the folder, and Double click on locker again. It will open and ask if you want to lock your folder? Y/N ?
8. Type Y. your private folder will disappear.
9. If you want to UNLOCK your folder ,go to (locker) & type your pass and you will see your private folder.
10. Enter the password and hit “Enter”.
Note
It not only hides the folder, but hide all files… and try opening it without entering password, it will take you to the control panel.
Also, if u want to store files on your Pen-Drive, u can use this script. No Software Required.
In case u delete your Locker file (just in case), then u can make a new one (but with the same password) and open it from that.
Alternatively, u can keep this locker file somewhere else, and when u want to open ur folder, only then bring it back to that place.
