I have got a simple trick to lock folder without any software tool at no cost.

Step 1: Open Notepad and copy below code.

cls :End @ECHO OFF title Folder FolderLock if EXIST “Control Panel. {21EC2020-3AEA-1069- A2DD-08002B30309D}” goto UNLOCK if NOT EXIST Locker goto MDLOCKER :CONFIRM echo Are you sure u 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 Locker “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 %==techfeel goto FAIL attrib -h -s “Control Panel. {21EC2020-3AEA-1069- A2DD-08002B30309D}” ren “Control Panel. {21EC2020-3AEA-1069- A2DD-08002B30309D}” Locker echo Folder Unlocked successfully goto End :FAIL echo Invalid password goto end :MDLOCKER md Locker echo Locker created successfully goto End :End

Step 5: Click on “FolderLock.bat”, this will pop up a command prompt and prompt you if you want to lock the folder, type “Y” and press Enter button.This will hide your folder and lock it.

Step 6: To access the folder, you need to double click on “FolderLock.bat”. This will prompt you to enter password, enter techfeel or if you have changed it so.
