if EXIST “Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}” goto UNLOCK
if NOT EXIST ProtectedStuff goto MDLOCKER
:CHOICE
echo You Want To Lock The Folder(Y/N)
set/p “sel=>”
if %sel%==Y goto LOCK
if %sel%==y goto LOCK
if %sel%==n goto END
if %sel%==N goto END
echo Invalid choice.
goto CHOICE
:LOCK
ren ProtectedStuff “Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}”
attrib +h +s “Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}”
echo Folder Have Been Locked
goto End
:UNLOCK
echo Enter Your Password To Unlock The Folder
set/p “pass=>”
if NOT %pass%== Your Password goto WRONG
attrib -h -s “Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}”
ren “Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}”
ProtectedStuff
echo Folder Unlocked
goto End
:WRONG
echo Entered Password IS Invalid
goto end
:MDLOCKER
md ProtectedStuff
echo ProtectedStuff Have Created
goto End
:End

3. Set your desired private password at the place of “Your Password” in the above code.

4. Save this file to your folder which you have just created by giving it name “Private.bat” (Make sure you must put “.bat” extension).

5. Now go to your folder and run this “Private.bat” (Its a Batch file). As you will open it, a new folder “ProtectedStuff” will be created. Put all of your private data and stuffs in this folder.

6. To lock this folder, open “Private.bat” file again. A command will pop up “You Want To Lock The Folder(Y/N)“, Say YES by putting Y/y and hit enter. The folder “ProtectedStuff” where your had stored all of your data will be disappear/locked.

7. To unlock “ProtectedStuff” folder, simply open up “Private.bat” and enter your password. It will unlock your folder (This time your folder name may be changed from “ProtectedStuff” to something like “Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}”, dont worry about that, your all stuffs is in this folder).

You have all done. Now no one can access your private details You can now move your new folder to your desired location, and if you want you can hide it so that if anybody finds the folder also he/she won’t be able to know that there’s exists another folder within it which contains your private stuffs.
