Most of the People are using third party
application tools like "Folder Lock" to hide folders and files from unauthorized access. So today I'm
going to show how to hide a folder or file using a .bat file .
Solution:
Step 01
Create a Folder name call "Test".Open Notepad and Copy below code then save it with.bat extension .
cls
@ECHO OFF
title Folder Test
if EXIST "HTG Locker" goto UNLOCK
if NOT EXIST test 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 Test "HTG Locker"
attrib +h +s "HTG Locker"
echo Folder locked
goto End
:UNLOCK
echo Enter password to unlock folder
set/p "pass=>"
if NOT %pass%== Test123 goto FAIL
attrib -h -s "HTG Locker"
ren "HTG Locker" Your Folder Name
echo Folder Unlocked successfully
goto End
:FAIL
echo Invalid password
goto end
:MDLOCKER
md Test
echo Test created successfully
goto End
:End
Step 02
Open the .bat file that you create. once you open file you will see a window like below
To lock the folder press "Y"
and Enter. Now you can't see the Test folder that created.
Step 03
To unlock the folder open the .bat > type the password. Now you can see the folder that you
created on the desktop.
