Here Is how to make a lockable folder, with a single batch file.
TIP: Dont tell anybody how to get/change the password!! (How to do this will be later in the tut)
1: First Of all, open up notepad.
2: Copy And Paste This code into notepad:
Where it says "ENTER YOUR PASSWORD HERE" In that code, That Is where you will put whatever you want your password to be, Example:
set/p "pass=>"
if NOT %pass%== PUT YOUR PASSWORD HERE! goto FAIL
attrib -h -s "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}"
Change that to (Example
set/p "pass=>"
if NOT %pass%== Forums.TheMaveSite.com goto FAIL
attrib -h -s "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}"
Now your password will be Forums.TheMaveSite.com
MAKE SURE THAT THERE IS A SPACE BEFORE AND AFTER YOUR PASSWORD IF THERE ISNT ALREADY!
Like you cant have this:
if NOT %pass%==Forums.TheMaveSite.comgoto FAIL
There has to be a space on both sides of the password.
STEP 3:
Save your text file In the location that you want the lockable folder to be.
IMPORTANT: Save your text file as the name (without quotes) "Locker.bat"
4: Double click the bat file and it will create a Folder in the same dirctory that the locker is in. The folder will be named "Locker"
Now Put all your valuable things in the folder, but dont delete them from their original directory until you have fully tested the locker.
5: After the folder "Locker" has your things in it, double click the .bat file. It will ask you "Do you want to lock the folder? (Y/N)
For yes> Type Y and press enter.
For No> Type N and press enter
If you did Y, the CMD window thing will close and Folder "Locker" Will disapear (This Is the Locked mode, and no, it didnt just make it invisible)
To Get the folder back (unlocking), Run the .bat file again. It will ask you for a password. Enter whatever you put in "ENTER YOUR PASSWORD HERE" on the txt file, and press enter. the folder should reappear.
.::TO CHANGE PASSWORD::.
Right click on the .bat file and click edit.
Go down to where your old password is, and replace that with what you want your new password to be.
I Hope this helps all of you!
