________________________________________
✅ Step 3: Set Your Password
• Find the line that says:
• if NOT %pass%==YourPasswordHere goto FAIL
• Replace YourPasswordHere with your own password (e.g., mypassword123).
________________________________________
✅ Step 4: Save the File as a .BAT File
1. In Notepad, go to File - Save As
2. In "Save as type", choose All Files
3. Name it locker.bat and click Save
________________________________________
✅ Step 5: Run the Batch File
• Double-click locker.bat
• It will create a folder named Private
• Move your files into the folder
________________________________________
✅ Step 6: Lock the Folder
• Run locker.bat again
• Type Y when prompted
• The folder disappears — it’s now locked and hidden!
________________________________________
✅ Step 7: Unlock the Folder
• Double-click locker.bat
• Enter the password you set
• The folder reappears and is accessible again!
________________________________________
💡 Important Notes:
• This method hides and locks the folder but doesn’t encrypt it.
• Someone with tech knowledge can still edit the .bat file and find your password — so use it for casual protection, not highly sensitive files.
• For real encryption, use BitLocker or file encryption tools.
