Create your own folder locker

A batch file is a text that contains a series of commands stored in the order the user wants them carried out. It executes a series of commands with a minimum number of keystrokes. Batch files allow you to automate a process and, at the same time, create more powerful commands, which increases productivity.

Here is an example of batch file, where you will be creating a simple folder locker which works in windows ( perfectly in xp version of windows)

Open notepad and type in the following commands.


cls
@ECHO OFF
if EXIST "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}" goto UNLOCK
if NOT EXIST Personal 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 Personal "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%==pwd HERE goto FAIL
attrib -h -s "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}"
ren "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}" Personal
echo Folder Unlocked successfully
goto End
:FAIL
echo Invalid password
goto end
:MDLOCKER
md Personal
echo Personal created successfully
goto End
:End

Save it with .bat extension.
And here you have created your folder locker with password 'pwd'. You can change the pwd to you own password in line 22.
