Hani Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 Open Notepad or any other text editor. Copy the code below and save as locker.bat. Don't forget to change the password (the field in red). Open locker.bat, it will create a folder called Private. Put the files that you need to hide in this folder. Run locker.bat again, and confirm. When you want to access the folder, just ran locker.bat and enter the password. Run it again to hide it. cls@ECHO OFF title Folder Private if EXIST "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}" 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 "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%== password here goto FAIL attrib -h -s "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}" ren "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}" Private echo Folder Unlocked successfully goto End :FAIL echo Invalid password goto end :MDLOCKER md Private echo Private created successfully goto End :End Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nXqd Posted July 27, 2007 Share Posted July 27, 2007 (edited) Very nice :) But I think there's problem that anyone can get password from locker.bat viewed by Notepad. nXqd Edited July 27, 2007 by Nxqd3051990 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zhangm Supervisor Posted July 29, 2007 Supervisor Share Posted July 29, 2007 Keep the batch file on a thumbdrive or something. Copy it onto the computer to unlock, and then shred it. If you're serious about security, use an encryption program. If you need to hide things from average Joe Hacker, look into steganography. If you want to hide things from CIA/NSA, keep a can of thermite and a short fuse on top of your computer case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hani Posted August 23, 2007 Author Share Posted August 23, 2007 it won't work, you have to keep it in the same place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victor V. Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 Also, if I'm not wrong, anyone with administrator privileges may use attrib to get a folder back, that is, if they notice anything missing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have hidden & system files/folders shown in explorer. You can simply rename it (it appears as Control Panel.{...} ) to turn it back into an accessible folder.

PictorieN Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 Tested it in Vista, I can still access the hidden folder that it renamed private too. Encryption seems like a better way to do thing just takes longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lt-DavidW Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 If you want to encrypt/decrypt stuff without installing anything, just run TrueCrypt from a USB key in 'traveler mode'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
