How to protect a folder on windows 10 without software

Well on this occasion I would like to share a trick where we can protect folders on our computer without us having to do the installation of certain applications on the windows 10 operating system.

Well here the steps that we can do to ours can protect folders on our computer.

• Please go to the folder where the data that you want to hide.
• Right click on the mouse and select click "new text document"
• Open the file new text document above and enter the code below

 cls
@ECHO OFF
title Folder Locker
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%==nbcdns 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

• Please replace the word red that is nbcdns with the password that you want to use in order to hide your data.
• Save the first file with the name that we want and then open the file again and save the "save as type of all files"

•  Here I would save with the name folderlock.bat and then save press the button save to save the data.
• After so please run the file folderlock.bat we have made earlier, it will appear automatically the folder with the name of the locker.
• Enter the data that we want to hide into the locker folder and then press back files with the name folderlock.bat to hide our data.

While we will hide our data, our computers will display a command where are we going to keep our data as in the picture below.

 

If we're sure you have entered the password correctly and we do not forget what the password please type in the letters "Y" and press "enter", then the folder locker last will disappear.

To display the folder we simply do double click on folderlock.bat and then we enter the password we have and then press enter.

Then the folder that we hide and we have protection will appear again and we can access the folder back

Now how easy is not it, we can do our folder protection without seeking or should we do the installation software only to protect a folder that we kept secret from people around us.

Advantage if we use the above way

Many advantage we get from us use the above way.

• We don't need to be on the lookout for a suitable application for we can use in order to protect a folder that indeed should not everyone know.
• There will be no virus attaches because we make our own code to use protect folders that belong to us.
• We can get a little show off to our friend if we make the application's own : D
• It don't takes up much space from our computer.

Well so my little tutorial that discusses about How to password a Folder on Windows 10 without Software. This way I also already try and work on windows 7 operating system. So for those of us who have windows 7 can use this way to hide and password of our important data on a personal computer belonging to us.
