PROTECT files folders without software easily
You can apply security settings to those folders which you feel would be better if no one except you can access that file or folder. You can secure these files by locking them up in a folder and access them as and when necessary. Storing them in a password protected folder is the only viable solution so that only those people knowing the password of the folder can access and use it.
Through this tutorial I will guide you to create a password protected folder without using any third party software. The method will not only encrypt the data but also hide it.
In this process a folder named "CyboBytes" will be created where the data to be secured is to be placed. It's just like a locker in the bank - storing our valuable and precious items from unauthorized access.
Advantages of this method:
1) Encrypting and decrypting the files and folders are very quick
2) The folder hides itself after entering the password ensuring extra security
Procedure:
Follow the steps to go further:
1) Download the file which will be required during the process from here
2) Open a notepad and paste the following statements.
Note: Type in your own password instead of "Enter your password here" or else this is going to be the default password.
cls
@ECHO OFF
title CyboBytes - Locker
if EXIST "Control Panel.{1038E83-RBD3ZA4-1069-B23R-08002B30309D}" goto UNLOCK
if NOT EXIST CyboBytes 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 CyboBytes "Control Panel.{1038E83-RBD3ZA4-1069-B23R-08002B30309D}"
attrib +h +s "Control Panel.{1038E83-RBD3ZA4-1069-B23R-08002B30309D}"
echo Folder locked & Secured
goto End
:UNLOCK
echo Enter password to Unlock folder
set/p "pass=>"
if NOT %pass%==Enter your password here goto FAIL
attrib -h -s "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}"
ren "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}" CyboBytes
echo Folder Unlocked successfully
goto End
:FAIL
echo Invalid password
goto end
:MDLOCKER
md CyboBytes
echo Locker created successfully
goto End
:End
2) Save this file in a secure location with bat extension eg: "CyboBytes.bat"
Now follow carefully,
3) On double clicking this file for the first time a folder named Locker will be created in the same location.
4) Place the files and documents to be secured in this folder.
5) Again click twice on the above created .bat file. A windows console will open up. Press 'y' to lock the folder. The folder will hide automatically.
6) To access the files click twice on the .bat file again and then enter the password. The folder will again show up.
NOTE: This method is not a secure way to secure the data. Encrypting files with some free softwares like winrar or win-zip would encapsulate the files better. CyboBytes will not take any responsibility for any file loss. Be careful not to delete the hidden file.
