How to create password protected document locker in windows
We have some important
files and folders on our PC. We don’t want these files and folders to be seen by
others. It becomes more important when you share the computer with others. This
can be done very easily following the procedure given below. I am using Windows
10 Pro but it works on other windows editions also.

password protected document locker |
For this we need to
create a folder on your desk top, Drive C, D, or wherever you want. I explain
here assuming as if we want to create the folder on the desktop.
ATM Phone Call Fraud, ATM Phone Call scam,
how it works, protection, how to save yourself
To create the folder
right click on your desk top
Hover over new
Click on folder.
Give a name to the
new folder.
Note- The code below
is designed to name the folder as “Folder Locker”. If you want to give the name of your choice, please
replace the word “Folder Locker”. In line no. 3 of the code.
For now I
am assuming that you want to name the folder as “Folder Locker”.
For example name it
as “Folder Locker”.
Open the folder by
double clicking the icon of the “Folder Locker” folder.
Here you have to
create a text file.
To open a new text
document, right click your mouse, hover over “New” and choose “Text Document”
A new text document
will be created in ntepad.
Open it by double
clicking on “New text document”
Here you have to
paste the following code. Please copy and paste the code given below now.
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

you see that some of the text is in red color in bold letters. Please delete the
text in red and write your password in place of it.(
Your-Password-Here)
Now
save the file. Please note that the File is to be saved as batch(.bat) file.
To
save the file as batch(.bat) file click on file in the menu and click ‘Save
as…”.
Give
name to the file, for example “Folder Locker” and add the
extension “.bat”
(
Note-If you want to choose a different name, first replace this text “Folder Locker” in the code with the name you want to
give to the .bat file. This is in line number three on top of the code.)
Select
all files from the menu in the bottom of the document and save it.
Now

the folder “Folder Locker” by double clicking
on it and then open the file “Folder Locker” by double clicking.

automatically.
Open
the “Locker” by double clicking it.

have successfully created the “Folder Locker” folder and
transferred your sensitive files to it. now you have to lock it.

lock it double click on the windows batch file “Folder Locker”.
Now a message like given below will appear.
“Are you sure
you want to lock the folder Y/N”
Now
type ‘Y’ and press enter.
The
locker folder will be locked and disappear.
(
Note-If you want that a different message
should appear, please replace this text “Are you sure you want to lock the folder Y/N”
in the code with the text you want to appear as a message while locking the
locker.)
