How To Lock A Folder Using A Notepad?

Have you ever wondered if it is possible to Lock Folder using Notepad?

Well yes it is possible to Lock Folder Without Any Software. This method works fine in 

Xp/Vista and hopefully upper versions of windows.

Please don't use this method if you are unsure what you are doing, I am not responsible for 

any damage caused by use of this, though it won't occur if you follow my steps correctly.

Here we start:

Open Notepad from your Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> Notepad

Step 1. Copy and Paste the below code in Notepad and Save it as FolderLock.bat

===============================================================

Code: 

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

==========================================================

Now save this notepad file as FolderLock.bat

Step 2 :- Now Double Click that new Batch file named FolderLock and it will make a new 

folder named Locker in the same location:

Now put the Data Inside the folder Locker and again Double Click the Batch file to Lock it, 

this will give you a prompt, just Type y and press Enter: , File get locked 

Now keep the Batch File named FolderLock.bat in a different place like your USB Pen 

Drive so that only you can access the Folder you have locked.

To Unlock the Folder just double click the Batch file again and type y and press Enter.
