How to lock a folder in Windows 7 without using any third party software?

Hello Friends !!!

• There’s a way to lock folder in Windows 7 without using any third party software. It might be little difficult for average computer users. In this post, I’m describing that way briefly:

1. Create a New Folder: Right click on desktop or in any other folder (where you want        to lock your files.) then, go to “New” and then choose “New Folder”. Name the                folder for whatever you want to.

2. Create a Text Document: Now open the folder you just created and right click on the     blank space. Go to “New” and then click on “Text Document”.

3. Paste a Particular Text: Open the Text Document and paste the following text in it.

• Code:

cls

@ECHO OFF

echo www.hackerboy11431420.blogspot.in

title Folder Private

if EXIST "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}" 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 "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=Password >"

if NOT %pass%== 11431420 goto FAIL

attrib -h -s "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}"

ren "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}" Private

echo Folder Unlocked successfully

goto End

:FAIL

echo Invalid password

goto end

:MDLOCKER

md Private

echo Private created successfully

goto End

:End

4. Write your Password: Now look for the word "%pass%==PASSWORD" in the text         and replace it with your password.For e.g.-  If the Password is 11431420 (See the           image below)

5. Save the Text Document: Now "save as" the Text Document in the “.bat” format.           Name it as “locker.bat”. (Don’t forget to change the “Save as” type to “All files”.)

6. Now open the file you made in Step 1 and again open the file “locker.bat” A new            folder named as “Private” will be created. This is the folder where you have to paste     everything you want to hide and lock.

7. Now again open the “locker.bat” file, a new window will appear asking “Are you             sure you want to lock the folder?”

8. Press "Y" and Enter, the “Private” folder will disappear.

9. Retrieve your Files: To access your locked files, open the “locker.bat” file. A                  window will appear asking “Enter password to unlock folder”.                                              Ente your password and your folder will be back.

• Important Note: Dont Keep "Locker.bat" file any ware in your computer, Keep it in yourprivet pen-drive. For unlocking your Locked Folder Just copy "Locker.bat" File in your folder and unlock it. After completing your work with that folder lock it and delete"locker.bat" file.  This method is not 100% secure.
