hey guys in this video I'm going to show
you how you can create a
password-protected folder on your
Windows 10 operating system so you might
want to protect some files inside a
folder with a password how you can do
this on Windows 10 we are going to see
in this video so let's say I have these
two files which I want to password
protect inside a folder it can be any
file it can be a text file PDF file
video file or an image or anything and
then what you need to do is inside the
folder where you want to create your
password protected folder you just need
to right-click on that folder and then
click on new and then click on text
document and then name this document
whatever you want I will name it as
folder lock and then press Enter
so you can see right now it has the
extension dot txt now I'm going to just
double click on this document which will
allow me to add some content inside this
file so this file is fold or lock dot
txt you can see and here inside this
folder lock dot txt file you just need
to paste this code which I'm showing you
here now this code I'm going to give you
in the description of the video so you
can just click one link of github from
where you can copy all the code same as
demonstrated here you don't need to do
anything and then scroll down here so
just copy and paste all this code and
then scroll down where you will see this
line which says if not percentage pass
percentage is U is equal to and here you
can give your password okay so here
let's say I'm going to give a password
pas s 1 2 3 which will be the password
for my
folder okay so here you can give any
password instead of your password text
make sure that after equal equals you
have this space here and then after your
password you have this space here okay
so now what we are going to do is we are
going to just click on the file so let
me just go here and we are going to just
click on this file option here and then
we are going to save it as so just click
on save as and here we are going to
change the extension of this txt file to
batch file so instead of folder lock dot
txt you just need to write folder lock
dot b8t
okay so folder lock not be 80 and
instead of saving it as a text document
you can just choose this option which
says all files okay so make sure that
you change the extension of this file
and make sure you change this type as
all files and then click on save okay so
you can see this file name has been
changed to folder lock dot dat file and
I have given this password to protect my
folder ok so once you have done that you
have provided your password here instead
of this password you can just close this
file and you can see this batch file is
created here right so once this batch
file is created what you need to do is
you just need to simply double-click on
this b8e file you can now remove this
text file you don't need to use this
file anymore so just click on folder
lock dot dat file and once you do that
you can see it has created a folder
called private for me autumn
matically so for the first time when you
click on this folder lock dot dat file
it's going to create this folder for you
with the name private so inside this
folder you can move all your content
whatever you want to protect with the
password so I'm going to just move all
the files which I want to protect using
password and then once you moved all
your files so you can see I have an
image file here I have the mp4 file here
and I have also moved this folder lock
dot txt file you don't need to do this
you can directly delete this file
because you have all we have already
created this batch file out of this
password file right so now you have this
file so this folder private will be now
protected by a password so now the last
step here is to double-click on this b80
file once again so once again just click
on b80 file and you can see it asked me
are you sure to lock this folder so what
I'm going to do is let me just maximize
the font size so you can see it in a
better way I will just increase the font
size so this is the message you will see
here are you sure to lock this folder
just type capital y here
okay so capital y and then press Enter
and once you do that you will see
automatically this private folder is
hidden so now your private folder is
hidden and it will not be visible to
anybody and now one can only open this
private folder using this for del dog
dot batch file so I'm going to just
double click on this folder log dot
batch file and here you can give your
password ok so it says enter the
password to unlock the secure folder I
will just give my password PA as s 1 2 3
and
press ENTER and once I do that I can see
this folder okay so now I will just work
on with these files I will use these
files and once I am done I can once
again click on this folder log ba T file
and then just press Y and then press
ENTER and this folder will be logged
once again so how cool is this so this
is how you can lock your folders on
windows 10 without using any software I
hope you enjoyed this video and I will
see you in the next video
