Folder Lock Using Notepad

All have some files that are to be kept Private visible from others. using a software for those may hang up system or may lead to automatic removal if the system crashes.


So , it is good to password protect a file on computer using a simple notepad trick by using .BAT extension.

Steps To Perform:

• Open Notepad and paste the following program in the notepad.

cls
:End
@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%==jstxplore 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

• In the above program I am using jstxplore as the password of the file.
• Replace it with anything you like to make it as folder password.
• Save the file anywhere in the system with a .bat suffix like  something.bat
• Here I am saving it as mylocker.bat on my system.

• Double click on the something.bat file which you create, a new folder by name Locker will be created on the same location of bat file you saved.
• Copy your files to this folder and open bat file again and type y and then enter to lock your folder.

• To unlock your file again, you need to open the bat file and enter your password.
