Folder Lock
Many people have been looking for a way to lock folders without the use of any alternative software. So, here you go…
Open Notepad and copy the script given below and save the file as locker.bat.
Now double click on locker .bat
First time start, it will create a folder with the name “Locker “ automatically for you. After creation of the Locker folder, place the contents you want to lock inside the Locker Folder and run locker.bat again.
PS: Please don’t forget to change your password in the code.

cls
@ECHO OFF
title Folder Locker
if EXIST “Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}” goto UNLOCK
if NOT EXIST Locker 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 Locker “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%== type your password here goto FAIL
attrib -h -s “Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}”
ren “Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}” Locker
echo Folder Unlocked successfully
goto End
:FAIL
echo Invalid password
goto end
:MDLOCKER
md Locker
echo Locker created successfully
goto End
:End
That’s lot of work! I understand the desire to do tasks like this without added software, but yikes, that’s a bit much.
File encryption software is faster, easier and cheaper than ever – even free if you’re so inclined. I found SensiGuard to be the best encryption program on the market. With just a single click (less effort than your first step, above) you can lock any file or folder, anywhere on your PC or flash drives.
Skip the hassle and spend the 29 bucks. SensiGuard rocks!
Samuel,
I guess the piece of code put you off. But really, it takes about 90 seconds to set up.
So I believe the question here is whether your 90 seconds are worth more than 29 bucks
Thanks!
