Secure Folder Locker (Batch Script)

A lightweight Windows Batch Script to lock and unlock folders with a password.
This script disguises your folder as a Control Panel shortcut and hides it using system attributes, making it inaccessible without the correct password.

Features

• Automatically creates a private folder (Private) if it doesn’t exist.
• Lock the folder by renaming it into a Control Panel shortcut.
• Hide the locked folder with system attributes (+h +s).
• Unlock the folder with a password prompt.

• No external software required—just native Windows batch scripting.

How It Works

1. Save the script as locker.bat.
2. Run the script:
   • If the folder is unlocked, you’ll be asked whether to lock it.
   • If the folder is locked, you’ll be prompted for a password to unlock it.
3. When locked:
   • The folder is renamed to Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}.
   • Hidden and system attributes are applied.
4. When unlocked:
   • The folder is restored to Private.
   • Attributes are removed.
