How to Create a Password Protected Folder Without Software

Securing Confidential Data is a basic requirement of everyone. This can also be done through available Softwares on Internet. Now i will share a method to Lock folders Without using any Software. This Trick will work in windows XP, Vista and Windows 7. Why to Use this Method? If you are afraid of getting Viruses through Softwares(This Technique is completely Safe). If you are using PC of someone else and want to do some prank and not having enough time to download and install Softwares. If for some reason you are not able to Install Softwares on PC. How to do it? Open Notepad( Start->Run->Notepad) Copy the Code below and Paste it into Notepad.  cls :End @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%==mixworld 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 Password for the above batch file is set to mixworld. You can change it to anything by editing mixworld to your choice in following line: if NOT %pass%==mixworld goto FAIL Now Save this file with a name anyname.bat(here .bat is the extension). I am choosing mixworld.bat as my file name in this tutorial. Now a Bat file is created. Now double click on bat file and it will ask you for password and Enter Password(for the above code it ismixworld). Now you will see a folder named LOCKER in the same location where you saved anyname.bat(mixworld.bathere) file. Open it and fill it with the data you wanna hide. When you are done with the above press Y in the bat file and hit Enter. Now Close this Bat file window and locker folder will hide itself. Again to Edit Locker Folder double click mixworld.bat file and enter password. You can do it as many times as you want. :)
