Steps:
1- make a new folder ( name it as you like ) 2- inside this folder make a (.TXT ) file & copy the following inside it: CODE Quote: cls @ECHO OFF 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=>" if NOT %pass%== password here 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 3- After u copy the command go to line ( 23 ) u will find "password here" Change to any password u want. 4- After that, save it as locker.bat (the txt file will change to an application file) 5- Now go back to the folder & u will find a this locker.bat file. 6- Click on it & u will find a new folder called Private. 7- Now copy what u want in it & after that go to locker.bat by clicking it, it will open and ask you if you want to lock your folder? Y/N ? 8- Type Y 9- If you want to UNLOCK your folder, go open locker.bat & type your password and the Private folder will be made visible again. Tested and working :] Hide stuff from strangers, lol...  [I wonder what you're gonna hide  ]

Another advantage to Linux. To lock any file or folder so that only you have access, use the following command:
CONSOLE chmod 0600 filename Job done  Still, that script is pretty cool to use on a Windows machine. |

Very nice script, though you will definitely have to hide the batch file after you lock the folder because your password is stored inside of it in plain text.
Or you could always use one of those programs that compiles a batch file into a .exe. But either way, it wouldn't be too hard to hide it, as long as those using this method are aware that it's necessary for any real level of security.rvalkass is right though, linux for the win!

Is there a way to add md5'ing into this script, such as use a tool to get the md5 of your password and put that in the bat file instead, use it to compare the md5 of any code entered with the "correct" one?
