Folder Lock Code

[Julian89]

For those who use shared PCs at home, you may passworded your folder and have it hidden by using the software Folder Lock but I tried it and somehow it didn't work at some instances for me..so instead of that I'll be sharing a somewhat folder lock code...

*Copy the following codes (Marked in blue color) :

cls
@ECHO OFF
title Folder Locker
if EXIST "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}" goto UNLOCK
if 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 LOCK
if %cho%==y goto LOCK
if %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 locked
goto End
:UNLOCK
echo Enter password to Unlock folder
set/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 successfully
goto End
:FAIL
echo Invalid password
goto end
:MDLOCKER
md Locker
echo Locker created successfully
goto End
:End

* Now paste it in notepad.
* Change the "type your password here" with your password (Marked as bold in the above posted matter).
* Save it as batch file(with extension .bat). Any name will do.
* Now you see a batch file. Double click it to create a folder locker.
* A new folder named Locker would be formed at the same location.
* Now brings all the files you want to hide in the locker folder.
* Now double click the batch file to lock the folder namely Locker.
* If you want to unlock your files, double click the batch file again and you would be prompted for password. Enter the password and enjoy access to the folder.

Hope this could be of help.

your passing plain text passwords. anyone who can open the .bat/.cmd can read your pw

why not compare it to a MD5 hash.

And compile it to a .com file, too

If someone wants to get into that folder, they can.

Sorry I do admit that I'm not a tech-expert. It just that this thing work out for me...maybe because I'm the one at home who is the most literate when in come to computers. In my case I make a lot of .bat files (at least 10 of which one is the Folder Lock) in both C and D drives so as for them to suspect they are just harmless stuffs in the computer. Just as i said it works for me and hopefully, for people who have the situation as mine will work for them as well.

I just checked out this MD5 hash thing and somehow reminds me of my past computer lessons...

Either way, the MD5 suggestion is good but unfortunately I don't know how to encode it. I also saw some possiblity of the .bat files being converted to .exe and want to try that as well...

I guess I need to know more next time. But at least I try. Thank you for your constructive feedbacks.

Sorry I do admit that I'm not a tech-expert.

For that you wrote a pretty complicated batch file .. or was that just copied somewhere?

Seems someone had the same idea here in 2008

An IT student friend of mine shared that to me sometime ago.

And up to now, I'm still using it. With 5 of us in the family using the computer, never each one of them saw my promiscuous secrets.

Additional advice...

Aside from making many .bat files, hide the the folder locker .bat file in a place where it is least possible to be seen.
