# In windows 7:
In windows 7 it is quite difficult to complete the process. However i
am showing you how to follow the process in windows 7 also.
for locking a folder by this process you have to create a bat file
first. After creating this bat file, when you double click on it a new
locker folder will be automatically created.
So whatever you want to locked or make password protected just cut and paste in this folder. Lets start:
1.Open a notepad
2.Insert this code here.
cls@ECHO OFF
title Folder Locker
if EXIST "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}" goto UNLOCKif 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 LOCKif %cho%==y goto LOCKif %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 lockedgoto End
:UNLOCK
echo Enter password to Unlock folderset/p "pass=>"
if NOT %pass%==type 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 successfullygoto End
:FAIL
echo Invalid passwordgoto end
:MDLOCKER
md Locker
echo Locker created successfullygoto End
:End
3.Save the file by any name for example :abc.bat
before save change the red color type your password here with your any
password that you choose.
4.Now you can see a bat file has been created
5.Double click on it
6.A new locker folder will be created
Note:the locker folder will be created -where you save the bat file. So
if you want to create a password folder in drive D for example so save
the bat file in same drive.
7.Now cut and paste your things into the locker folder
8.Now open the bat file
9.A black dialog box will pop up here. you will be asked wheather you
want to give password or not. Y/N click on Y and give the pw which you
type on bat file.
10.Now the folder will be locked and hide.
11.Now you want to return back and unlock the folder
12.Just click on the bat file and give pw the folder will appear again
13.Tested the bat file giving wrong pw the locker folder will not open.
So from now you can secure your private data without any software.LOL
Note:Don't keep the bat file at the same place where you locked the
folder. You can keep the bat file in any other place also.This bat file
is very important. Don't delete it. In case this file is being deleted
by mistake then you have to create a bat file again in same direction
with same name and password. Then you can recover your locked folder
again. So keep the code in safe place. Otherwise you can change the bat
file name by exe so that everybody would think its a executable
file.Just rename it by exe.So nobody can see your bat file anymore.
Conclusion:
I hope those tips will be helpful to you to locked any folder without
any Application software. This method can be used in windows xp vista or
2000 also. So just try it and if you have fallen any problem feel free
to make a comment here. I will try to reply the solution. enjoy folder
locking.
