How to hide folder with password in Windows
It's easy to hide folder in linux, by just adding a dot infront of the name of a folder, but in Windows, you'll have to create one batch file for this. I'll tell you how,
Copy and paste this in Notepad,
cls
@ECHO OFF
title Folder Private
if EXIST "HTG Locker" goto UNLOCK
if NOT EXIST Private goto MDLOCKER
:CONFIRM
echo Are you sure you 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 Private "HTG Locker"
attrib +h +s "HTG Locker"
echo Folder locked
goto End
:UNLOCK
echo enter the key
set/p "pass=>"
if NOT %pass%== PASSHERE goto FAIL
attrib -h -s "HTG Locker"
ren "HTG Locker" Private
echo Folder Unlocked successfully
goto End
:FAIL
echo Invalid password
goto end
:MDLOCKER
md Private
echo Private created successfully
goto End
:End
The Black colored letter Indicates the Password, change it to your desired password. Then Save this as key.bat, whatever the name be, but .bat extension is necessary. Save this wherever you want. opening this file will create a new folder in the folder you've saved the .bat file named Private. Copy and paste whatever you want to hide, to this folder. Again, Open this batch file and it will ask you 'Are you sure you want to lock the folder(Y/N)' then type y and press enter. This will hide the folder. to unhide the folder, open Batch file again and it will ask for your Password, type your password and Press enter.
