Protect Folder With Password


How To Protect Folder With Password.
1- Create a new folder and name it whatever you would like.
2- Open the folder, right-click on a blank area in it, then select New -> Text Document from the pop-up menu.
3- Open the text file you just created by double-clicking it and copy/paste in the following red colored text:


   cls
   @ECHO OFF
   title Folder Private
   if EXIST "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}" 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 "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%== PASSWORD_GOES_HERE goto FAIL
   attrib -h -s "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}"
   ren "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}" Private
   echo Folder Unlocked successfully
   goto End
   :FAIL
   echo Invalid password
   goto end
   :MDLOCKER
   md Private
   echo Private created successfully
   goto End
   :End
In the above code, replace the key PASSWORD_GOES_HERE with the password you want to use to unlock the folder. For example if you want the password to be 123456, the line should look like:
   if NOT %pass%== 123456 goto FAIL
Save your new file in the .bat format with the complete file name being locker.bat. To do this, make sure to change the Save as type: to All Files (*.*).
In the folder you created back in Step #1, double click the locker.bat file and there will now be a new folder named Private where you can put anything you want.
Upon exiting, double click the locker.bat file again. It will prompt you to answer whether you want to lock your folder or not. Press Y and the private folder will disappear.
In order to retrieve the Private folder, all you have to do is double click the locker.bat file and enter the password which you set in Step #4 and the folder will appear again for you to access.   
   That’s it!
