Hi, guys!

No more spending money on expensive password vaults!

Ingredients:

Files (or passwords ) that you want to hide

Typing Skills

Oh, and before I forget, here is the code you will be needing:

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%==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

I take no credit for the code; all the code was taken from LaptopMag.

TODO

Copy-Paste the code and dump it into a .txt file. Change the Your-Password-Here value to the password you want. Then save as a .bat file...

If you want to change your password, then right-click the file and click "Edit". You can change the value.

Of course, there are main weaknesses in this.

• If you lock the locker, then move the .bat file to Google Drive, then your locker files disappear forever.
• A nasty guy could right-click the file, edit the master password, and have access to your files.
• If the computer goes bad, you'll never get your passwords back. In other words, no sync.

We could, however, prevent people from changing/viewing the master-password by converting the .bat file to a .exe file.
