We all have computer files we'd like to keep secret from the world. Fortunately, in Windows 10, you
can tuck those unmentionable plans or files in a secret folder that is password protected, and you can do it
without buying any additional software.
Here's how to create a folder that you can fill with files you want to keep secret, lock it, open it and repeat.
4. Hit Enter. It doesn't matter what the file will be named. You can delete this text file once the lockable
folder has been made.
cls
@ECHO OFF
:CONFIRM
set/p "cho=>"
goto CONFIRM
:LOCK
goto End
:UNLOCK
echo Enter password to Unlock folder
set/p "pass=>"
goto End
:FAIL
goto end
:MDLOCKER
md Locker
goto End
:End
7. Find where it says "Your-Password-Here" in the document.
8. Replace "Your-Password-Here" with the password you want to lock the folder with.
9. Click File.
10. "Select Save As..."
11. Click on the "Text Documents (*.txt)" menu bar that's next to "Save as type:"
12. Select "All Files"
13. Change the file name to "FolderLocker.bat"
17. Open the FolderLocker file, because it's time to lock that folder up!
18. Type "Y" into the screen.
19. Click Enter, and the Folder Locker window will disappear, along with the Locker folder itself! Your
secrets are safe!
