Lock File(s) on Windows Without Using Any Software
How
many times have you wished of a software using which you can hide or lock
files, restricting its access to other
unwanted users. Although there are various software available in market using
which you can easily lock/hide files but, i personally dont trust them because
most of them are bloatware or spyware.
In
this post i am going to share a simple yet powerful way of locking and hiding
important files using a the following method. Follow the instructions to make
you own Locker ( Without any software !! ) :
• Open notepad.
• Copy the following code in notepad file :
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 goto End :FAIL echo Invalid password goto end
:MDLOCKER md Locker echo Locker created successfully goto End :End
• Change the “YOUR PASSWORD HERE” with your
password.
• Save it as batch file ( with extension
.bat ) For eg. Locker.bat
• Now you will see a batch file. Double click
it to create a folder locker ( A new folder named Locker would be formed at the
same location )
• Thats it you have now created your own
locker and that too without using any software !
• Brings all the files you want to hide in
the locker folder.
• Double click the batch ( As created above
) file to lock the folder namely Locker.
If
you want to unlock your files, simple double click the batch file again and you
would be prompted for password ( In DOS window ). Enter the password and enjoy
access to the folder.
But
don’t delete .bat file and loose your stuff…….
