How to lock a folder

1- make a new folder ( name it as you like )

2- inside this folder make a (.TXT ) file & copy the following inside it.

Code

@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 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

3- After u copy the command go to line ( 23 ) u will find "password here"

Change to any password u want.

4- After that, save it as locker.bat (the txt file will change to an application file)

5- Now go back to the folder & u will find a this locker.bat file.

6- Click on it & u will find a new folder called Private.

7- Now copy what u want in it & after that go to locker.bat by clicking it, it will open and ask you if you want to lock your folder? Y/N ?

8- Type Y

9- If you want to UNLOCK your folder, go open locker.bat & type your password and the Private folder will be made visible again.

hey thanks dude .

this is a good one ,

just the one i hv been looking for ! B)

the .bat file not only does hides the folder ( with your private content ) but also password protects it !

this is stealth with panache :ph34r:

keep up..

It's great to know... any folder called "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}" will drive me to Control Panel folder.

But as i always have sight of hidden/system files, i can see it. I only can't enter the real contents until i rename to another thing, which is not bat at all. I mean, no password needed in my case, just renaming.

In fact you can use whatever name you want (maintaining that CLSID extension)... for example: Pr0n-a-lot.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}

In fact, it works with other CLSID extensions depending where you want to go when double-clicking it (nVIDIA Desktop Explorer, Network places, My PC, Printers and faxes, Recycle bin...) xDDDD

I'll stick to MyPC CLSID (this one: {20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}) to redirect people to a better place than Control Panel.

But it's great to know xD

PS: You have to try this one xDDDD Create a folder called PXrX0Xn.{59031a47-3f72-44a7-89c5-5595fe6b30ee}, that folder won't have any strange icon, you can't enter that folder, it won't redirect/drive you to any other folder... but unfortunately it can be renamed or erased if you see it. This one is really cool.

PS2: This is in my computer, where i don't have any shared file/folders.

hmm I can look inside the folder with Total commander! however if you want to open a file inside like a txt file or view a jpg you cant. Still you can see what they are called etc
