Lock folder, set folder password, easy and secure

On every computer, we always have various important data. Especially private data that you don't want strangers to access. But do you still not know how to lock a folder? Today, Mytour will introduce you to an easy and safe way to lock a folder.

I. Using Code

Step 1: The first thing you need to do is create a folder as usual and give it any name.

Step 2: Open the folder you just created, then create an additional Text Document by right-clicking in the empty space within the folder and selecting New -> Text Document.

Next, open the Text Document file you just created. Copy the entire code snippet below into it:

cls
@ECHO OFF
title Folder Private
if EXIST 'HTG Locker' goto UNLOCK
if NOT EXIST Private goto MDLOCKER
:CONFIRM
echo Are you sure you 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 Private 'HTG Locker'
attrib +h +s 'HTG Locker'
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 'HTG Locker'
ren 'HTG Locker' Private
echo Folder Unlocked successfully
goto End
:FAIL
echo Invalid password
goto end
:MDLOCKER
md Private
echo Private created successfully
goto End
:End

(Note: In the code snippet above, replace YOUR_PASSWORD_HERE with the password you set. Then, select File -> Save as -> and name the file locker.bat and choose Save as type: All File.)

Step 3: Now you can delete the original text file.

Step 5: Open the locker.bat file. At this point, the computer will automatically create a new folder named Private. This Private folder is where you can store important files and documents.

Step 6: After transferring necessary folders to the Private directory, reopen the locker.bat file.

Immediately, a dialog box will prompt asking if you want to hide the Private folder. Simply press Y and then Enter.

Step 7: To access the Private folder, simply open the locker.bat file, enter your password, and press Enter.
