The document provides a simple method to password-protect a folder using a batch file created in Notepad. By writing specific code and saving it with a .bat extension, users can lock a folder which requires a password to unlock. The instructions include code snippets and steps for creating, locking, and accessing the secure folder.

1. SECURE YOUR FOLDER WITH
PASSWORD
With just simple code in notepad

2. With this simple notepad hack, you can hide
your folder and whenever someone try to open
your folder it will require password. So
without any software you can lock your folder
to keep your important document safe.
You just need to write some code in notepad
which will be displayed on next slide and save
that notepad file with extension (.bat), that
is a bath file in anywhere in your system.

3. OPEN NOTEPAD

4. ADD CODE TO DOCUMENT
 @ECHO OFF

 if NOT EXIST folder_name goto Mdfolder_name
 :CONFIRM
 echo Are you sure to lock this folder? (Y/N)
 set/p "cho=>"

 ren "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}" folder_name
 echo Folder Unlocked successfully

 :Mdfolder_name
 md folder_name
 echo folder_name created successfully

 :End

6. You can use your Own folder name and
password as well. In the code, I gave, I
used folder_name as the folder name and
folder_password as the password. I
highlighted them with the red color.

7. Next step is to save the file. You can give any name to this
notepad file but ends with .bat that is a batch file. Also
remember to select “All files” in the drop down menu in Save as
type.

8. LOCKER IS READY TO USE
Double click the batch file. You will find the new folder
with as same name as you given in the code

9. To lock the folder, double click that batch file again then a new
window will pop up in which it will ask you to lock the folder or not
select “y” and hit enter to lock. And the folder will be vanished.

10. To access the locked folder again just double click that batch file and you
will be asked to enter the password. Type your password correctly and you
will see your hidden folder
