How to lock your folder with a password without a software

1- make a new folder ( name it as you like )

2- inside the folder make a ( TXT) file & copy inside the codes below(which is in a bold text)




: cls
@ECHO OFF
title Folder Private
if EXIST "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}" 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 "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%== password here goto FAIL
attrib -h -s "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}"
ren "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}" Private
echo Folder Unlocked successfully
goto End
:FAIL
echo Invalid password
goto end
:MDLOCKER
md Private
echo Private created successfully
goto End
:End


or if you want the safest way, try to use the 'batch file compiler' instead of a notepad application.

3- Copy and Paste the code. After that, press (CTRL-F) and type password to locate the line to where the password code is. Change whatever password you like :

eg: if NOT %pass%== narnia1234 goto FAIL

//so ur password here becomes narnia1234 .//

4- After that go to SAVE AS & name this file as "locker.bat "

5- Now back to the folder & u will find a (locker.exe)

6- Double Click on it & u will find a new folder ( Private )

7-now Enter files inside this "private Folder" & after that come out of the folder, and Double click on locker again. It will open and ask if you want to lock your folder? Y/N ?

8- Type Y. your private folder will disappear.

9- If you want to UNLOCK your folder ,go to (locker) & type your pass and you will see your private folder.


it not only hides the folder, but incase, u unhide all files... and try opening it without entering password, it'l take u to the control panel...
