      cls
      @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%==type your password here 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
      :End

      1. Paste the above code in notepad. (remember to put in your password)
      2. Save it as batch file(with extension .bat).Any name will do.
      3. Now you see a batch file. Double click it to create a folder locker.
      4. A new folder named Locker would be formed at the same location.
      5. Now brings all the files you want to hide in the locker folder.
      6. Now double click the batch file to lock the folder namely Locker.
      7. If you want to unlock your files,double click the batch file again and you would be prompted for password.
      8. Enter the password and enjoy access to the folder.

      Drop a reply if you like it. Mr. Green

      Do note there are many variations to this coding for bat files.

      Nah, I'm not that free. Just that my intuition told me it was copied from somewhere and it happened to be a spot-on. So which variation did you copy? I'm guessing it's this one since the capitalization and the variable names are exactly the same. Am I right on this as well?

      And please, as a kind advice, quote your source if you're copying someone else's work in the future.

      Erm, you're so free to look through google links and the variations huh?

      Hehehe...........

      Nothing more than renaming the Locker folder into another folder name and setting hidden attributes and system attributes.

      So, if anybody uses notepad to read your batch file, they will know your password huh?

      Oh no, you would be shocked at how fast I can traverse through Google results after using it for all these years. It took me much less than 5 minutes to discover that you're not the first one to post the exact same thing.

      And of course, thank you. I need that sense of pride, definitely. I'm sure someone like you who shamelessly copy a person's work and leave no credit for him/her wouldn't need it anyway.

      I see that both of us will be flaming each other to no end if we continue this way. If you still wish to play this childish game, please go ahead, but I will not be joining you anymore.
