Keeping some confidential files private means a lot to me. I can do this easily with several folder and file locking software and tools available out there in the Internet but with a price to pay.
So, here is an equally easy alternative, without any cost to bear – no software no tools! What you need is just a Notepad.

- Save it as a batch file (with extension .bat), any name will do.
- Now you see a batch file. Double click to run the batch file to create a new folder named Locker by default. You can change the folder name by changing the line “md Locker” to “md yourfoldername”.
- Now, you can put all your files that you want to lock and hide want to hide into this Locker folder.
- To lock it, double click the batch file. Double click the batch file again will unlock it, prompting you for the password.
