Lock Folders Using Notepad
Hello.
Have you ever wondered if it is possible to Lock Folder using Notepad?
Well yes it is possible to Lock Folder Without Any Software. This method works fine in Xp/Vista and hopefully upper versions of windows.
Please don’t use this method if you are unsure what you are doing, I am not responsible for any damage caused by use of this, though it won’t occur if you follow my steps correctly.
Here we start:
Open Notepad from your Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> Notepad
01. Copy and Paste the below code in Notepad and Save it as FolderLock.bat
@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
02. Now Double Click that new Batch file named FolderLock and it will make a new folder named Locker in the same location:
Now put the Data Inside the folder Locker and again Double Click the Batch file to Lock it, this will give you a prompt, just Type y and press Enter:
Now keep the Batch File named FolderLock.bat in a different place like your USB Pen Drive so that only you can access the Folder you have locked.
Hope this helps. If you have any question or doubt, please leave a comment and I will get to you as soon as possible and will help you to best possible way.

Hope you enjoy thus simple but effective tutorial :)
Hi, I just now created a folder lock using your coding, at present it is working fine but if in the future same file is corrupted than how can I access the it. Is there any recovery system.Thanks for sharing.
See mate, just by keeping the files in that folder will never make them corrupt until you have been attacked by viruses or hard drive corruption (bad sectors). Well in that case you can recover data by using data recovery sofwares.
Better use a good antivirus with combination of spyware to avoid them harming your system.
Hope this helps.
Very interesting technique, I never thought Notepad can do this great task, you rocks!
You are welcome mate. Thanks for the appreciation!
Very interesting solution to locking files. I believe Windows has a built protection feature that encrypts folders for the current user also.
Yes but encryption is something else, I will discuss that solution too in coming times. :)
Ok, cool method, but i want to change the password from y to something else. How can i do that?
Hey I dont know if you or others tried this, renaming the folder removes the protection. Thats too simple to get into the folder.
@linkuri sorry to say but this was all taught in my class lol But will try it out when I will get free with some of my major project work :)
@Anonymous, dude can you tell me how to rename a folder when it locked? :-/
this script add the code {21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D} at the end of the folder name. U can rename the folder using a software like “unlocker” (http://ccollomb.free.fr/unlocker/) ;))
Well it is not visible to everyone around, especially when it is hidden. So there is no point that others can unlock it. Moreover I have stated this method here so that you can hide files from your friends or family member lol like a important file or files. :|
@linkuri pass is at this line:
“if NOT %pass%==type your password here goto FAIL”
So u need to change “type your password here” with your password like:
“if NOT %pass%==lamepass goto FAIL”
So now every time you want to change the pass open the FolderLock.bat file in any text editor ‘n’ just change this line or rather the sting after “if NOT %pass%==”
Thank you Anonymous, now it’s perfect :)
Bariski, thank you to, but i have to asume that friends or family members are inteligent people :)
I just saw that the folder it’s invisibile not hidden
so they can not rename it
amazing…
:-t
After locked, view hidden file can see and folder and double click it can open the folder. So what is the used?
how do i unlock the file after i forgot my paswword, grrrrrr…
Outstanding tutorial *clap*
So kind of you, nice trik…
