Locking A Folder With No Software At All! - works on XP AND VISTA!!!

FreedomOverdose
I know that there may be some tutorials like this in the web, but I made this one a very long time ago smile.gif.
Simple Copy-Paste-Rename-Store-and LOCK. can work anywhere on any computer.


NO Software Required. Simple Lock your Folder, with these Few Steps. Ive tried it, and works great. Ive only tried it on Windows Xp, SP2.
IM not sure, if it works on other OS as well. but its harmless, so try it out.

Steps:

1- make a new folder ( name it as you like )

2- inside this folder make a ( TXT ) file & copy inside it this (the entire thing)

CODE
Quote:
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 Commanding go to line 23 (or try using shortcut- CTRL+F and type password to locate the line) u will find this word : password here (Change it with any password u like.) is :

eg: if NOT %pass%== narnia1234 goto FAIL
//so ur password here becomes narnia1234 .//

4- After that go to ‘save as’ & name this file as "locker.bat "

5- Now back to the folder & u will find a ( LOCKER ) commanding.
(locker.exe)

6- Double Click on it & u will find a new folder (Private )

7- Ok ,, now copy what u want in this "private Folder" & after that come out of the folder, and Double click on locker again. It will open and ask if you want to lock your folder? Y/N ?

8- Type Y. your private folder will dissapear.

9- If you want to UNLOCK your folder ,go to (locker) & type your pass and you will see your private folder.

it not only hides the fodler, but incase, u unhide all files... and try opening it without entering password, it'l take u to the control panel...

Also, if u want to store files on your Pen-Drive, u can use this script. No Software Required

Incase u delete your Locker file (just in case), then u can make a new one (but with the same password) and open it from that.

Alternatively, u can keep this locker file somewhere else, and when u want to open ur folder, only then bring it back to that place...

Thats very good! If you have VB knowledge you could integrate with a simple program to act as a key and store it on another flash drive or your phone or something so your files are safe. (Vb would give a nice UI)

Ill be saving this little tut!

  7. Installing Software Using Adept
    (0)
    I'm hoping this will be the first of a few Linux tutorials I write. I have been asked by a few
    people recently about how to get software for Linux. They are used to going down to PC World and
    picking up a CD, putting that in the PC and installing. With Linux that is not how new software is
    obtained, and this is my attempt to explain how to get new software onto your Linux machine. I use
    KDE, so this is based around Adept, but it is fairly similar if you use Synaptic or something else.
    OK, open up Adept. There are a variety of ways to do that, but the easiest is to ....

    This is only a very quick tutorial, meant to complement the dynamic signature tutorials that already

    to be aware of this method. This does not cover the actual creation of dynamic signatures, per se -
    but rather a better 'trick' to allow you to use dynamic signatures on forums such as this
    one. I've noticed that most of the dynamic signature tutorials on this forum state that you

    to keep very still and the camera always at the same angle and only turn around your own axis it can
