But who wants those memory consuming softwares . awww yes we can lock our folder without using any third party software.

Its just as simple as 1-2-3

Alright, here we go. Perform the following steps.


Step 1.
 Paste the below code in notepad and save it as Lock.bat

cls
@ECHO OFF
title Folder Private
if EXIST "HTG Locker" goto UNLOCK
if NOT EXIST Private goto MDLOCKER
:CONFIRM
echo Are you sure you 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 Private "HTG Locker"
attrib +h +s "HTG Locker"
echo Folder locked
goto End
:UNLOCK
echo Enter password to unlock folder
set/p "pass=>"
if NOT %pass%== Write_password_here  goto FAIL
attrib -h -s "HTG Locker"
ren "HTG Locker" Private
echo Folder Unlocked successfully
goto End
:FAIL
echo Invalid password
goto end
:MDLOCKER
md Private
echo Private created successfully
goto End
:End

Step 2 .
Replace the word Write_password_here with the password you want to put on the folder and save it as lock.bat


Step 3 .
 Click on this locked.bat
This will create a new folder named private in the same directory where you placed this locked.bat file.
Place all your secret stuff in this folder.

Step 3.
Again click on it and in the opened command prompt, type y (y means yes you want to lock the folder and N means you don’t want to lock the folder now).  So type N if you don’t want to lock the folder now.

Step 4.
 Now the folder is hidden secretly.



How to open that folder::::----
1. Again double click on locker.bat.
it will open the command prompt.

2. Type the password in it which you used and you will be able to see the folder.

3. You can change the password by editing the above code. Find the below line
if NOT %pass%== Write_password_here FAIL
replace the Write_password_here with any password that you want to put on the folder.
and then perform the previous steps to lock and unlock the folder.


Note: For further security, you can hide this locked.bat by using hide file option. Or you can place this lock.bat file in your C-drive. So no one would be able to find this in your C-drive.
