Trick to Lock Folder Without any Software

• Open Notepad [Start-->Run-->Notepad] 
• In your Notepad just Copy/Paste the below code.

  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%==techiespire 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 

• In the above batch code the password has been set as 'techiespire' . You can change it by editing the following line.

if NOT %pass%==techiespire goto FAIL

Now save this notepad file as yourfoldername.bat , here .bat is extension of your file. For now I am creating techiespireatrahul.bat file.

• Now a .bat (system) file will be created.

• Double Click on this .bat file and you will see a Locker Folder at the same location where your .bat file is saved.

•     Double click on that Locker folder and store your personal data in it.

After storing all your data in that folder again double click on .bat file and press  'Y'  to Lock the folder and press Enter.

• Now your Locker will hide and only .bat file will be there. 
• Double Click on this .bat file and give your password (here techiespire) and hit Enter.

That’s it. Now every time you want to open your secret folder you have to enter the password. You can update this folder any time and infinite number of times.
