Hiding Folder

It is not 100% secure. Since it only hides behind setting of folders. Anyone can go to settings, select "Show hidden files" and your "hidden" file will be shown too.

So, let's start?

1. Be sure you have chosen "Don't show hidden files" in settings menu. If you are not sure, or you want to hide hidden files, you can do that by doing this below:

WIN7: Open Computer/ My Computer folder > Click on Organize(top left corner) > Click on Folder and search options > Select "View" tab > Find "Hidden files and folders" > Select "Don't show hidden files, folders or drivers > Press OK

WIN XP: Click 'Start'. > Open 'My Computer'. > Select 'Tools' menu > Click 'Folder Options' > Select the 'View' Tab. > Uncheck 'Show hidden files and folders' in the Hidden files and folders section. > Select 'Hide protected operating system files (recommended)' option. > Check the 'Hide file extensions for known file types' option. > Click 'Yes'. > Click 'OK'.

2. Open notepad.

3. Write code below into notepad.


cls
@echo OFF
title Folder Private
if EXIST "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}" goto UNLOCK
if NOT EXIST Private goto MDENTER PASSWORD TO OPEN
:CONFIRM
echo -----------------------------------------------------------
echo Are you sure you want to lock the folder(Y/N)
echo Press (Y) for Yes and Press (N) for No.
echo -----------------------------------------------------------
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 -----------------------------------------------------------
echo Enter password to unlock folder
set/p "pass=>"
if NOT %pass%== YOUR PASSWORD 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
:MDENTER PASSWORD TO OPEN
md Private
echo Private created successfully
goto End
:End

4. Find this part of code:
if NOT %pass%== YOUR PASSWORD goto FAIL

5. Replace YOUR PASSWORD with your, own password.

6. Save file as nameoffile.bat

7. Download Batch to Executable converter: http://www.softpedia...p=44026&t=0&i=1

8. Open Converter

9. Select which windows you use. 32 bit or 64 bit.

10. Open Bat_To_Exe_Converter.exe

11. At Batch File, select .bat file you created

12. You should use those settings:

Visibility: Visible Application
Temporary Files: Do not delete
Working Directory: Current Directory

13. Press Compile and exit application after compiling.

14. Remove .bat file and open .exe file you just created.

15. On first run, it will open and immediately close.(it creates hidden folder)

16. When you run it second time. It will ask for password.

17. After you enter password, it shows hidden folder. You can drop in that folder anything.

18. When you finished dropping files into it. Open .exe file we created and write Y or y and press enter. So the file is locked and hidden.

That's it! You have created own pirvate folder.
