Secure your files in a password protected folder
Secure your files on a password protected folder by using a simple batch file.
It doesn’t take to be a computer hacker or something to do this.
It’s easy as ABC!
Let’s start by opening Notepad.
And paste this code:
After pasting it, find the code “(YOURPASSWORDHERE)” and replace it with your preferred password (w/o quotes).
And save it in your desktop as “config.bat”. Don’t forget to save as “All files” instead of “.txt”.
Then execute the batch file (config.bat) and this prompt will show up.
And then it will create a folder entitled “Locker”.
This is were you will put your private files.
And after putting your files in the Locker, execute “config.bat” again. A prompt will show up asking if you want to lock the folder. Type “y” for yes and “n” for no, hit Enter.
And the folder will be hidden.
To unhide this, execute “config.bat” and a prompt will ask for password.
As you can see, the folder is now entitled “LOCK” rename it as “Locker” every time you will lock it, otherwise it will create another Locker folder.
So there you have it! Your files are safe.

Deetek 
Great post! I may reblog it.
thanks bro!
Thunmbs up!
Deetek ha!
Thanks Charles!
how to execute and how to put the file i m biginer please explain
How to execute? You’ll just double click on the file. How to put the file? Just save the pasted code into notepad as .bat (Ex. Filename.bat).
as soon as I click on the batch file it opens and then closes without creating a folder. I saved it as config.bat to all files on my desktop.
Make sure you copied the code correctly
It looks like a problem with program compatibility. it says the specified path does not contain a valid program. Please select a valid program (ending with .exe)
Except all you need to do to get the password is open the batch file in notepad…It is just like leaving your door locked with a key under the mat.
Because, of course, it’s impossible for someone else with access to the computer to just open the batch file up in Notepad and see what the password is (and the name of the directory that’s hidden.) Unless you’re encrypting stuff, there’s absolutely no protection at all.
Very nice, I was looking for something like this. A few files need the extra security.
Thanks!
All someone would have to do is open you batch file in notepad to find the password. If you want to secure your files just use something like TrueCrypt. It is far simpler and far more secure.
