How to create a password protected folder without using any third party software..

There are many methods that you can use to create a password protected folder or file. But most of time you have to use a third party software or application. Here you have an excellent method that you can hide your files without any third party application.   

  As the first step you should create a folder that will house  your password protected folder. It can be located anywhere in your hard drive and you can name it as you wish. 

Go into the folder newly created and create a New text document. This can be done easily using the path given in the below. 

        Right click on the folder >> New >> Text Document. 

  Now open the document and paste the code given below into the content of the document.

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 password to unlock folder set/p "pass=>" if NOT %pass%== PASSWORD_GOES_HERE 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

Replace this PASSWORD_HERE with password that you want to set for your password protected folder. 
  Now go ahead and save file as locker.bat and choose file type as All files. 

Once the file is saved as a batch file (.bat) now you can delete original text file. 

Now run your batch file by double clicking on it. After first time you run it, a file will be created called Privet.  This is the place where you can store your all secret things and data. When you added all the things that you want to hide with a password, now run batch file again. 

Now it will be asked for a confirmation text. Press the "Y" and hit enter to lock your folder. 

Now it will quickly disappears your privet data folder. 

If you run the batch file again you will have to give a password to access your data folder. 

If you enter the correct password, the data folder will reappear. 

    But the thing is this is not a really good way to hide your files. Because anyone can see you password easily how, editing the batch file. Therefore this is just only for fun and or a normal security. If you familiarise with these things, easily you can be a computer geek.
