if EXIST "Control Panel.

{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-

A2DD-08002B30309D}" goto UNLOCK

if %cho%==N goto END

echo Invalid choice.

goto CONFIRM

:LOCK

ren MyFolder "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 Your

Secure Folder

set/p "pass=>"

if NOT %pass%== tectochangetheworldgoto FAIL

attrib -h -s "Control Panel.

{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-

A2DD-08002B30309D}"

ren "Control Panel.

{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-

A2DD-08002B30309D}" MyFolder

echo Folder Unlocked successfully

goto End

:FAIL

echo Invalid password

goto end

:MDMyFolder

md MyFolder

echo MyFolder created successfully

goto End

:End



2. Save the notepad file as lock.bat (.bat is must)



3. Now double click on lock.bat and a new folder will be created

with name MyFolder



4. Copy all your data you want to protect in that New folder



5. Now double click on lock.bat and when command promp appears Type Y

and press enter.



6. Now MyFolder will be hidden from you view, to access that folde

double click on lock.bat



7. It will ask for password enter your password and done. ( Default

password is tectochangetheworld )



To change the password

replace tectochangetheworld with new password in the above code.



How To Further Secure ?



You might be thinking that anyone can access the password by opening

that lock.bat file in Notepad or any other text editor. To make it

more secure hide lock.bat in some secure location after following the

above tutorial To access the secured file double click on lock.bat. I

would suggest copying lock.bat file into Pendrive and copying it into

your

computer whenever you required to access to your protected files.
