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.

Lock your Personal Files On windows without Any Software..!!!

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.
