Protect Folder In Windows PC With Password Without Any Software

Sometime our friends and family member use our personal computer, laptop but in some cases we should hide our files and folder from them such as private photo, video etc. we want to hide it but we don’t want install any file locker software because if they saw file locker software then they will suck you and the software costs. So it’s a time to lock any folder without any software.

My friend coded a simple but powerfull batch file that will help you to lock folder with password. All credit goes to my friend Ramesh for his wonderful work. Copy all code given below, paste it in notepad and save is as yourname.bat. tricnp1234 is your default password you can change it in code just replace tricnp1234 with New password. Put your all private files inside private_folder. And remember you should always exit this tool with its option otherwise it will create few un-necessary files.

SET password=tricnp1234

SET echonp=index.vbs

SET startprg=start.vbs

SET aiwrong=wrong.vbs

SET pass=pass.vbs
