Sometimes friends have been asking for an alternative way to lock folders without the use of any alternative software. It’ll take only 5 steps ahead Procedure ø In Notepad copy the code below ø The default password is l"kinibigdeal” . Change your password in the code, where it shown as kinibigdeal in as shown below. Password may be any combination of alpha or/and numeric. ø Save this file as “locker.bat” . ø Now double click on locker.bat . ø I t will create a folder named: Locker with automatic lock. After creation of the folder, place the contents (your files & folders) you wants to lock inside the Folder and double click locker.bat again. It will ask to lock the folder Y/N. If you press y then it will lock the folder and your folder will be hidden. To unlock run again locker.bat , it will ask to enter password, type in correct password and you can see your folder back. ø Please don’t change anything except the password, otherwise it may not work èèèèèèèèèèCode starts line below èèèèèèèèèèèè cls @ECHO OFF title Folder Locker if EXIST "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069- A2DD-08002B30309D}" goto UNLOCK if NOT EXIST Locker goto MDKINIBIGDEAL :CONFIRM echo Are you sure to Lock this folder?

OP, does this actually 'lock' or hides then creates a program that unlocks it with password protection? If I turn on 'show hidden. . .' and 'show system files and folders' I'd still see the folder na? Shebi? |

Yes it will see it but you cannot access the folder except you input your default password |
