This is amazing. I just tried it and it is working flawless. I would suggest to use it.

I wouldn't rely on it : If you open the .bat file, the password can be seen......I think I've seen this posted here a few years ago.

You could try using 7ZIP to zip the contents and provide a password that way.

A more thorough method is to encrypt the folders using something like TrueCrypt:
