Create A Password Protected Folder
Before you get started you need to create a folder that will house
your password protected folder, this is just an ordinary folder and can
be located anywhere and named anything.
Open the document, now paste the following code into the contents of the document:
cls
@ECHO OFF
title Folder Private
if EXIST "HTG Locker" 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 "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%== PASSWORD_GOES_HERE goto FAIL
attrib -h -s "HTG Locker"
ren "HTG Locker" Private
echo Folder Unlocked successfully
goto End
:FAIL
echo Invalid password
goto end
:MDLOCKER
md Private
echo Private created successfully
goto End
:End
in a Txt File
Change the PASSWORD_GOES_HERE text to the password you want to set.
Now go ahead and save the file as locker.bat.
Once the file is saved as a batch file you can delete the original text file.
Now run your batch file by double clicking on it–the first time you run
it, it will create a folder called Private. This is where you can store
all your secret things. When you have finished adding all your stuff to
the Private folder, run locker.bat again.
This time you will be asked if you sure that you want to lock the folder,
press the “Y” key and hit enter to lock your folder.
If you run the script yet again, you will prompted for a password.
If you enter the same password as you set in the script the Private
folder will reappear if you enter the incorrect password the script will
just Terminate.
