Though there are many software we have thrown over the net; which claims to do their best when it comes to hide or protect sensitive data with in windows. Many of them are however; said to be free; but if you wan to do  something different then the below trick definitely suit your nature.

Have you ever thought of protecting your files or data without help of any software… Yes… no software in place but a simple Notepad Trick. What you need to is just open the Notepad (You can do this simple using Windows+R key and then in the run menu type Notepad; this will open Notepad).

Now in the Notepad window copy and past the following lines written in bold letters…

if EXIST “Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}” goto UNLOCK
if NOT EXIST Locker goto MDLOCKER
:CONFIRM
echo Are you sure u 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 Locker “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%==type your password here goto FAIL
attrib -h -s “Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}”
ren “Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}” Locker
echo Folder Unlocked successfully
goto End
:FAIL
echo Invalid password
goto end
:MDLOCKER
md Locker
echo Locker created successfully
goto End
:End

Hope so far you have done things as per instructions given, now save the file at whatever location you want with the name of your choice but with an .bat extension. Be very careful while saving this extension; as by default Windows Notepad save a file with a .txt extension.

Now double click on this newly created .bat file; doing so will create a folder with the name Locker. That’s it copy whatever files you want to this location and when you finish; double click it; it then will open a DOS window with the choice Y or N; here Y means Yes to hide while N means no.

Hope you enjoyed the tip… am I right let me know via comments…
