how to make a folder locker



There are a lot of methods that you can use to create a password protected folder, most of which require the use of some third party software. Using this neat method you can hide your folders with a quick batch script.




STEPS:

1)open "notepad"  then paste these following codes..


cls
@ECHO OFF
title Prabhu Folder locker
if EXIST "prabhu Locker" goto UNLOCK
if NOT EXIST Prabhu 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 Prabhu "prabhu Locker"
attrib +h +s "prabhu Locker"
echo Folder locked
goto End
:UNLOCK
echo Enter password to unlock folder
set/p "pass=>"
if NOT %pass%== PASSWORD_HERE goto FAIL
attrib -h -s "prabhu Locker"
ren "prabhu Locker" Prabhu
echo Folder Unlocked successfully
goto End
:FAIL
echo Invalid password
goto end
:MDLOCKER
md Prabhu
echo Prabhu created successfully
goto End

:End

 2)then enter your password in place of "PASSWORD_HERE"

in my case i set my password 1234.




























Then Goto FILE>SAVE AS



















enter your file name and Change the .txt extension to .bat 
and save as type to All Files.

3) Now run your batch file by double clicking on it–the first time you run it, it will create a folder called Prabhu. This is where you can store all your secret things. When you have finished adding all your stuff to the Prabhu folder, run locker.bat again.























4) This time you will be asked if you sure that you want to lock the folder, press the “Y” key and hit enter to lock your folder.













You will see that your Private folder quickly disappears.

5)If you run the script yet again, you will prompted for a password.












If you enter the same password as you set in the script the Private folder will reappear if you enter the incorrect password the script will just Terminate.
