What if we delete the notepad file and only have the lock folder

[@bayraqdarov]

@@MuhammedRizwanR Just download notepad again

[@TechWorld-yt6st]

@@MuhammedRizwanR Go to any folder and click view and then options and go to view tab in folder options then change the settings to show hidden files, folders and drives then scroll down little bit then un-check Hide protected operating system files, then prompt Yes on warning message box then click apply and ok. Thats it. now you got your files and folders back

I'm not sure this secures anything as all anyone would have to do is right click on the lock file and open and see your password.

Works only single time

If u forget the password just go to view in file explorer and tick "show hidden items" your file will be visible where you made it.

I'm also facing the same problem if you find solution share with me to

[@stockbox4215]

You forgot the password but dont worry because you have the lock.bat file, so just right click the .bat file and change the extension to .txt from .bat and once you have the lock.txt file double click it and see your password and then again change it to .bat file and use the password to open your private folder❤

In this link: m.th-cam.com/video/ZyTbFFZ_bOs/w-d-xo.html
Which show how to hide files on computer with (.bat) files, i followed the steps. I hide the file i wanted, then I renamed the (.bad) file the name «101» without the «.bat» at the end for extra security and then I changed the location of the file. After a while I went to the folder where the file «101» is located, I renamed it by simply putting the «101.bat», I opened it, I put the asked password correctly, the private folder appeared, I opened it and there was nothing inside. What happened, Is my file lost? Please answer me!
