We often think that we use notepad for just writing some text and numbers,but the amazing thing behind the notepad is with the help of the programming language and using the correct extensions we can actually create many simple and useful applications.Here is an example for one of them.

THINGS YOU NEED:

Just a NOTEPAD in your PC

HOW TO MAKE A FOLDER LOCKER USING NOTEPAD:

step 1: press WIN+R and type "Notepad" without quotes in the run box

step 2: Copy the following code and paste it in the notepad

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 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 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

step 3:Replace YOUR PASSWORD HERE with your own password

step 4: Save the file with filename .bat extension this is the very important step , Because extension type is very important to run the file

ex: lakshman.bat

step 5: Now when you double-click that file to open it, a new folder named "LOCKER" will be created in the same location automatically.

Now you have created your folder locker. Lets see how to lock files and folders

HOW TO USE THE FOLDER LOCKER:

STEP 1: Copy the files or folders you need to lock in to the newly formed LOCKER folder and close it.

STEP 2: Now open the file (.bat extension file we have created before).

A window appears as below

step 3: Press Y and hit enter. The folder named LOCKER disappears from that location, it means you have locked the files successfully.

step 4: Unlocking the files

Double-click the file with extension .bat (the file which we created before) and a window appears as below

If you enter the password correctly your folder named LOCKER will reappear in the same location which contains all your files which you have locked.

You can lock the files again by following from step-2 in this section.
