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}"

set/p "pass=>"
if NOT %pass%==type your password here goto FAIL

No friend thats up most part of the thread is not my creation..!!

You donot think that I am too big..!

I am only of 14 age...!!

ok that's koool if u forgot ur password u know wat to do

or any wild thoughts

V

If you are using any software and u forget the passowrd..!!

There is no way to recover..!!

Same thing..!!

but is this as secure as other softs i mean that any geek can know wat's in ur folder
iam not telling that ur technique is not good but sugg them bee carefull against the geeks

V

thanks..!!

But for me this is a secure method as this is a password protected..!!!!

I donot want to say but there are many software which can break password of Software like winrar, winzip etc..!! (I heared and even saw) (My own folder)

But as this is without any software so it is hard to break password...!!

is there pass breaker for
winrar ??? really can u gemme the link plzz i want it.Is it real guys ???
"But as this is without any software so it is hard to break password...!!"
y is it Hard jus open the .bat file in note pad an u see the pass

thank you so much for this.

But what if someone deletes the batch file?

I forget to mention that after creating the batch file you must hide the file at some secret place and make it invisibles but putting that in folder....!!! (I hope you know that) (If not say me I will post that in my other (next) tutorial...!!!)

I know that but a person will never thought that a .bat file can contain all your secret...!!

And after all if you hide it is immposible...!!

..........i think u didn't got me...............
Buddy Batch Files do not provide password security.......The security is fake........and any can change the password witjout any trouble..........
Look in that link.......

For an example-

I created a batch file named "1.bat" with a password named "Ronak "
I locked the folder with that batch file.
I deleted the batch file named "1.bat" having password "Ronak"
I again created a batch file named "2.bat" with the password "Ronak Agrawal"
I tried to run "2.bat"
It asked for me a password to unlock the file.
I applied "Ronak Agrawal" as the password.
It worked successfully……………..
I was able to open the folder by entering Ronak Agrawal as the password instead of Ronak

S

Dude if you open the batch file with notepad or any similar s\w and if one reads through the code to the point where it says "Type your password here" then anyone could get the password.

the best way to make things more secure would be to keep the batch file in some other place then what u r locking.

this is good stuff man. i didnt know the /p switch at all

V

just follow the link and u will understand:-

*www.thinkdigit.com/forum/showpost.php?p=623247&postcount=23

ease up guys.. u r expecting world class features out of a 10 line batch file. it is brilliant work.

As for the pwd thing. u dont need the password at all. It is well established that the best security method is one that is invisible. This method makes the real data invisible. Now if u dont purposefully show someone the batch file then he wont even know that there is something hidden. let alone looking for its password.

That beauty is the invisibility, as that provides security not the password.

Anyways if someone knew ur batch file(or that a certain controlpanel icon is faking something) then he does not need any password. he can simply rename the control panel icon to anything simple and everything will open. so password protections is irrelevant.

you have to admire the overall idea. i discovered the same things in old dos days by renaming files to include the Alt+255 character. tho it had already been discovered by others millions of times.LOL i was as happy as if i had invented nuclear fusion . but the thing was the coolness of it as is here.

nice post... keep it up...

i am a bit confused i dont know what happedn but something went terribly wrong i need to get my data out of my folder as the orginal (locker) folder is not at all visible in any drive !! all i can see is a control panel link !!! can any body help here i copied and pasted the whole link as instructed and followed all the things now i am in a mess !!! i dont see the locker folder any more i see a control panel link rather !!! help help help

rename that back to 'locker'

V

ya just rename it as "locker"

woosh thanks my friend but i am still wondering how did it change at the first place to control panel?? vaibhav any answers ??

V

even I also wander....

read this tutorial a few days ago in another forum. but thanks for posting it here.

it changes due to the guid specified in the foldername extention. it is a unique guid that windows uses to track and link its features. there are tons of them. u could change it to printers/network folders etc if u know that guid

Nice work Dude!!!!!!

is any way to lock the drive???? :!:

Hey here, this is a very old trik and everyone is posting it here.
Some months ago, I created a small App under VB 6.0 using the same priciple.
The link to the thread is here:
*www.thinkdigit.com/forum/showthread.php?t=44805
Some issues related to this type of security have been discussed there....

off topic:-sorry for replying late due to my exam and still have exam will catch everyone later after a week...!!
on topic:-nice one but old...!!!

Hi Vaibhav, I was shocked to hear that u're just 14! You invented the code yourself? If that's true, then u're a genius! Way to go! Anyway, i discovered some 'Problems' in your code(not bugs). First, if a person has access to your code, then its as simple as a pie for him to discover the password and moreover if he is a bit too geeky then he can altogether do away with the password prompt too. Second, if a person boots the computer with a Linux Boot CD or with any other OS except any Windows OS then he/she can easily access the files in the folder. Another 'Problem' I found was that if you loacked a folder on your USB and connected it to another computer, then the folder is visible. Also, you cant lock a folder with a Limited Account.

I hope you may be able to rectify them if you are revising ur code for another program in the future.

PS: I'm 17 yrs old (Turned 17 this August)

great trick. iam currently hiding it, but there is a bug here, we can see password in root directory it seems, i read it one other forums, also do you have any idea what if the .bat file is deleted

V

if bat file is deleted u have lost ur thing.
same is with softaware like Winrar.

Oh no! You're wrong! You can access your files again even if you've deleted the .bat file. Just create it again. As simple as that. Or you could just boot a Live CD of any Linux distro and go to the folder you saved your hidden folder in.
