cls@ECHO OFFtitle Folder Privateif EXIST "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}" goto UNLOCKif NOT EXIST Private goto MDLOCKER:CONFIRMecho Are you sure you want to lock the folder(Y/N)set/p "cho=>"if %cho%==Y goto LOCKif %cho%==y goto LOCKif %cho%==n goto ENDif %cho%==N goto ENDecho Invalid choice.goto CONFIRM:LOCKren Private "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}"attrib +h +s "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}"echo Folder lockedgoto End:UNLOCKecho Enter password to unlock folderset/p "pass=>"if NOT %pass%==PASSWORD_GOES_HEREgoto FAILattrib -h -s "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}"ren "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}" Privateecho Folder Unlocked successfullygoto End:FAILecho Invalid passwordgoto end:MDLOCKERmd Privateecho Private created successfullygoto End:End

In the above code, replace the keyPASSWORD_GOES_HEREwith the password you want to use to unlock the folder. For example if you want the password to be123456, the line should look like:

if NOT %pass%==123456goto FAIL

Save your new file in the.batformat with the complete file name beinglocker.bat. To do this,make sureto change theSave as type:toAll Files (*.*).
