How to Lock a folder using a simple .Bat File

Most of the People are using third party application tools like "Folder Lock" to hide folders and files from unauthorized access. So today I'm going to show how to hide a folder or file using a .bat file . 

Solution:

Step 01

Create a Folder name call "Test".Open Notepad and Copy below code then save it with.bat extension .

cls

@ECHO OFF

title Folder Test 

if EXIST "HTG Locker" goto UNLOCK

if NOT EXIST test 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 Test "HTG Locker"

attrib +h +s "HTG Locker"

echo Folder locked

goto End

:UNLOCK

echo Enter password to unlock folder

set/p "pass=>"

if NOT %pass%== Test123 goto FAIL 

attrib -h -s "HTG Locker"

ren "HTG Locker" Your Folder Name

echo Folder Unlocked successfully

goto End

:FAIL

echo Invalid password

goto end

:MDLOCKER

md Test  

echo Test created successfully

goto End

:End

Step 02

Open the .bat file that you create. once you open file you will see a window like below

To lock the folder press "Y" and Enter. Now you can't see the Test folder that created.

Step 03

To unlock the folder open the .bat > type the password. Now you can see the folder that you created on the desktop.

Enjoy!!!
