Many people have been looking for an alternative way to lock folders without the use of any alternative software. So, here you go.
Open Notepad and copy the below code and save as "locker.bat"
Please don't forget to change your password in the code. It's shown the place where to type your password.
Now double click on "locker.bat" file
For the first time, it will create a folder with the name "Locker" automatically for you.
After creation of the "Locker" folder, place the contents you want to lock inside the "Locker" folder and run once again the "locker.bat" file.
"Locker" folder will be locked and it will not be visible.
To Unlock the same, run once again the "locker.bat" file. This time it will ask for the password. Type the password what you have keyed inside the "locker.bat" file. Now the "Locker" folder is unlocked and you can see the same and also the contents within it.
Here is the 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%=="[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
