Password Protect folders in Windows without any Software
Most of us have private data. Not all of us have a private computer to keep that data. So, we just end up with other people viewing that data. Although password protecting software do work, it is almost useless to hide private data with these software(because we are always questioned as to what it is that we are hiding with the help of these software).
Hidden folders do not work as anyone can use Folder Options to make a hidden folder visible. So, we need an alternative way to create hidden password protected folders which only we can access. And that is exactly what we will learn in this post.
With this trick, you can create a secure password protected folder in Windows which no one except you can access. To use this trick, follow the instructions given below:-
1. Open Notepad.
2. Copy and paste the exact code given below:-
3. Click on the File Menu. Click on Save As. '
4. Select All Types in the Save As Type dropdown menu. Save the file as *.bat
After creating the file, double click on the Saved file. A new folder will be created. Enter your data in the folder. Again, double click on the batch file. Type Y and press Enter. The folder will be hidden from view.
To re-view your folder, double click on the saved batch file. Enter password as "downloadusermanuale.blogspot.in" without quotes and press Enter key. This is also the default password. Your folder will be visible again.
To change the default password, edit the part of the code given in blue and enter your own password.
Note: This works on Windows 8.1, Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows XP and Vista. First try this on useless data to be sure and then only hide your personal data.
