How To Lock A Folder On Your Pc Without Using Any Software by kinibigdeal(m): 11:08pm On Nov 15, 2014
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

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
