How to Lock and Hide Folders in Windows without any software!!

Follow these steps:
(1) Open Notepad and copy the contents of 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%==type your password here 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
(2) Change the password by replacing ‘type your password here‘ in the above code with your password. E.g you can change it to 1234 or anything you like.
(3) Save it as XYZ.bat
(4) Close the file if it is still opened. Now double click on XYZ.bat
(5) It will create a new folder called ‘Locker’ automatically.
(6) Place the contents you want to hide  inside  the ‘Locker’ folder and double click XYZ.bat, it will ask whether you want to lock. Say ‘Y’ and now your folder will disappear.







(7) To view again, double click XYZ.bat again and enter your password.
