Original Content:
Notice: Any moderately experienced computer will easily be able to crack this "password protection". Don't try to use it in a serious situation. You should still be able to outsmart your parents though.

Material(s):

- x1 Computer w/ Windows Operating System
- x1 USB Drive
- x1 Half-a-brain

Step(s):

1.) Navigate to your desktop and create a "New Text Document.txt" and open it.

2.) Now, copy/paste this code into it your new text document:

Code:

@ECHO OFF title Classical's Folder Locker/Hider if EXIST "Secret.{2559a1f2-21d7-11d4-bdaf-00c04f60b9f0}" goto UNLOCK if NOT EXIST Secret goto MDIMPT :CONFIRM color 0a echo Are you sure you want to lock this folder (Secret)? (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 Secret "Secret.{2559a1f2-21d7-11d4-bdaf-00c04f60b9f0}" attrib +h +s "Secret.{2559a1f2-21d7-11d4-bdaf-00c04f60b9f0}"" echo Folder locked ren Lock.bat Key.bat goto End :UNLOCK color 0a echo Enter password to Unlock folder set/p "pass=>" if NOT %pass%==@YOUR PASSWORD HERE@ goto FAIL attrib -h -s "Secret.{2559a1f2-21d7-11d4-bdaf-00c04f60b9f0}" ren "Secret.{2559a1f2-21d7-11d4-bdaf-00c04f60b9f0}" Secret echo Folder Unlocked successfully ren Key.bat Lock.bat goto End :FAIL echo Invalid password goto end :MDIMPT md Secret echo 'Secret' Folder Created Successfully! Press any key to close the program. pause >nul goto End :End

3.) Now locate the line "if NOT %pass%==@YOUR PASSWORD HERE@ goto FAIL". Replace "@YOUR PASSWORD HERE@" with the password you want to use to unlock the folder.

So, for example:

4.) Now go to File->Save As, and name the file "Lock.bat".

5.) The result should be as follows:

Now go ahead and open it, a black CMD (Command Prompt) window should appear. The first time you run it, it will create a folder named "secret" for you to store all the files you want to secure in.

6.) Now open the .bat program once more, and you should be prompted with a confirmation screen for you to lock the folder "Secret". If you confirm the lock, the file will be secured and the .bat file will be renamed to Key.bat. (Which is used to unlock the files when you need them).

7.) (Optional) To unlock your folder again, simply run the (now) Key.bat file, and enter your password as prompted.

So as long as you keep the .bat file on a USB drive with a password no one else knows, no sneaky parent or immature friend will see what you don't want them to see on your computer.

I hope I've helped, leave any questions/feedback bellow, and cheers.
