Securing
Confidential Data is a basic requirement of everyone. This can also be
done through available Softwares on Internet. Now i will share a method
to Lock folders Without using any Software. This Trick will work in
windows XP, Vista and Windows 7.
Why to Use this Method?
- If you are afraid of getting Viruses through Softwares(This Technique is completely Safe).
- If you are using PC of someone else and want to do some prank and not having enough time to download and install Softwares.
- If for some reason you are not able to Install Softwares on PC.
How to do it?
- Open Notepad( Start->Run->Notepad)
- Copy the Code below and Paste it into Notepad.
cls :End @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%==LinkSolver 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 |
- Password for the above batch file is set to LinkSolver. You can change it to anything by editing LinkSolver to your choice in following line:
if NOT %pass%==LinkSolver goto FAIL |
- Now Save this file with a name anyname.bat(here .bat is the extension). I am choosing LinkSolver.bat as my file name in this tutorial.
- Now a Bat file is created.
- Now double click on bat file and it will ask you for password and Enter Password(for the above code it is LinkSolver).
- Now you will see a folder named LOCKER in the same location where you saved anyname.bat(LinkSolver.bat here) file.
- Open it and fill it with the data you wanna hide.
- When you are done with the above press Y in the bat file and hit Enter.
- Now Close this Bat file window and locker folder will hide itself.
- Again to Edit Locker Folder double click LinkSolver.bat file and enter password.
You can do it as many times as you want. :)
How to Hack it if you Forget the Password?Note:This is only for legal purposes. I don't take any responsibility if you hacked someone's Data and get caught. So don't do it for Illegal Purposes.
- For this you need to open bat file with Notepad Again BUT You CANNOT open it directly in Notepad by Right clicking it and open it with notepad.
- You need to Add Notepad option in the sendto option which comes when you right click on a file to send it to directly in Pendrive or My documents or any other.
- Now Right click on LinkSolver.bat and Go to Send to option and then choose Notepad.
- The Code which we used to Create it will come and the
if NOT %pass%==LinkSolver goto FAIL
password will be the content bold above(here LinkSolver).
Now you know the password thus you successfully Hacked into the Password Protected Folder.
Enjoy guys :)
