    FYI, you can still access the files in this "private" folder if you search them out specifically on the search bar so they're not completely safe from prying eyes; this process simply locks that particular "private" folder. I recommend naming the content files something unassuming so if someone found them accidentally they'd be less likely to open them. Still, it's a good added layer of protection.

    This is a cool trick for people who don't know much about coding or windows, but don't encrypt important files with this since the password is plainly visible if you edit the .bat file. The folder also isn't truly encrypted and can still be accessed.

    @thomas.alexander. 3 ปีที่แล้ว +41

    This doesn't really work. I'll explain why...
    1. Yes, it will create a lock effect on a folder and if you left click on the .bat file it will open a CMD window and ask you for a password.
    2. All you have to do to see the "secret password" is right click on the .bat file when it has "locked" the folder and select EDIT. It will open in NOTEPAD and you can see the entire script including the password.
    It might stop grandma opening the folder, but it will not work on anyone with a clue about this locking script or someone with a bit of curiosity.

    @DBR-KPA 2 ปีที่แล้ว +76

    This isn’t a very effective method to lock a folder. There’s a few problems with it:
    1) Folder contents are not encrypted, can still be accessed with commands if someone knows they’re there
    2) The password is visible in plain text. Just click on the .bat file and change the format to .txt or even just click file preview to see the password
    3) the .bat file implies there is a hidden folder. If all you want to do is hide a folder just right click the folder and check properties>general>attributes>hidden. This will hide the folder without any indication something is hidden and can be revealed by clicking the view tab in file explorer and checking hidden items.
    Overall, good enough to keep your grandparents out but anyone with a decent amount of windows experience will crack this in seconds.

    All this does is have the same functional effect of r-clicking on your file and flagging it 'hidden' except you've added extra time to access your material. Anyone who turns on 'view hidden' (which is anyone who is actually looking for something to hide on another's PC) can see this. This vid can induce people to be careless about their data now thinking that it's "protected" when it's not.

    This does not Encrypt or Password Protect the folder. It simply changes the attribute of the folder. The password in the bat file only confirms the person that did the setup is the same person and undoes the attributes. If your pc is set up to view Hidden Files this will have no effect at all.
