How to make a locked folder

[flv1333]

Hello found a lil something while I was browsing the web.

so,

Copy the following into a .txt docu.

 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%==password 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

Where it says "if NOT %pass%==password goto FAIL" change the

word "password" to whatever you want your PW to be.

Then, click File> Save as and save it as a .bat extension.

Then just double click the bat file to make the folder appear, insert the

files you wish to lock, and double click again to lock and hide the folder.

Nice batch script

I didn't make it, I just found it.

The only drawback to this lil "Locker file" that is it a batch file. Meaning you can right click it and open with notepad to see the password..... XD If there only was a way to lock the batch file or something....

what's the different between a locked folder and a protected .rar file?

Ummm
A folder isn't compressed, u can access it any time
a rar file is compressed, you must extract everything to run a program while u don't have to in a folder
DUR!

Well I found a way to make that .bat file secure from the dreaded right click! All you need is a .bat to .exe converter.... just search google... there will be like 20 programs to choose from, most freeware.
