Do you have items you want to keep hidden on your computer? Creating a locked folder using a batch script is a fun and easy way to hide files in low-stakes situations that don't require files to be encrypted. This wikiHow teaches you how to create a locker folder using a batch file.
Today, the file got corrupted and it continues to give me the message "The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect." when I try to open it with the command prompt. I'm trying to find out if there is a way to either fix the batch file, or locate the locked folder so I can just transfer it to a hard drive and store it away. Any help is appreciated.
I'm guessing the program moves the "locked" folder to somewhere else, but I want to know where it goes since I don't want to lose the folder I've locked if I forget the password or if the program randomly stops working.
You can search based on the content of the file and not just the name. In the search box in File Explorer, type content: and then type something that should be in the file. If it's there, you should be able to find it. Be sure you're searching the folder where you expect it to be or the entire drive.
Go to the folder which contained your "HTG Locker" folder and execute this command. If you still can't see your folder after this, it was probably deleted somehow (not by the .bat file you posted in your question though - that batch file only creates/renames/hides folders).
I uninstalled Knime (during uninstall Knime was unable to delete configuration folder), closed all the processes of Knime in the task manager, deleted the configuration folder and then reinstalled Knime. So it seems to me, that there were some background processes running which were locked the configuration folder.
Now all these thousands of files are LOCKED and I can't move them around or delete them. I know how to select 1 file, or even a group of files and unlock them all, but how do I do it when these files are in many - MANY - different folders?
To do that, open one such folder. Press Command-A (Select All in Edit menu). Press Option-Command-I which will open a multiple-item Get Info window, one window common to all the selected files. Then click the "Locked" checkbox until it is empty. That should unlock all the selected items.
Today's guide is on creating a password protected folder on Windows 7 without any additional software. Yes, you heard that right. No extra software at all! This guide is intended for beginners. But please note, this method should not be used to store financial or otherwise highly confidential material. It might be a good place to hide a planning document for a family member's birthday party or similar occasion where you need to keep something secret temporarily.
When you have done that, double-click on the folder and create a text document. This can be achieved by going into the contextual menu (right-click anywhere inside the folder -> New -> Text Document). Double-click on the text document and paste the following code into it:
When you have deleted it, you may now double-click on your batch file. The first time you run the program, it will add a folder titled "Private". This is where you can store your documents to keep away from praying eyes. Go ahead and put some stuff in it now.
When you have finished adding your documents to the Private folder, double-click on locker.bat. You will now be prompted whether you wish to lock the document or not. Select "Y" to lock it. When you do this, you will notice that the Private folder quickly disappears.
This as someone else suggested did not work, it did not display my 'private' folder. I did however right click on the bat file as also suggested and once you click on edit you can see the password so again great solution not foolproof but no MIT persons around my house so works for me!!
Well this is good to stop little kids from watching you're... well... uhm... private videos and pic, or some below average user from looking at you're stuff in that folder. It is way too easy to bypass this security, you can easily search for the file or files from search bar in windows explorer (explorer will find them, you don't need to know the name of file you can just type the extension in search bar) or you can rightclick the the batch file and go to edit, there you can see the pass. Is there a way to hide files from explorer's search and hide folders from view even if the ''show hidden files'' option is enabled?

When users forget the password, they will surely be locked and won't be able to access their locked files and data. On this page, in Part 1, you'll find 3 methods provided by professional users and geeks to unlock Folder Lock without the password.
"I locked one of the folders in my laptop (windows 10) by using a password-protected code. I just put the code on a notepad, create a folder, and locked it. It's a Windows batch file (cmd.exe). I have totally forgotten my password now and tried at least 30 times to open it. Unfortunately, the password was wrong and it didn't work.
Folder Lock, powerful software to safeguard vital data and files, sets password protection to selected files and folders on Windows PC. It allows users to hide files, encrypt files, and even securely delete files.
So now you can view, find and reuse your saved files in Folder Lock or folders again without any passwords. If you cannot find wanted files in the target folder, follow either method offered below to get your lost files back.
When you open the folder but see no files, two methods in Part 2 will effectively bring your files back. If you have further issues about file recovery, refer to our How-To or File-Recovery pages to find more solutions.
On Windows 11, you get a password protection feature called BitLocker. BitLocker is a great security feature, but it can only password protect drives, not the files or folders. Hence, if you want to password protect your folders on Windows, you need to create a batch file or utilize third-party software.
6. You can place your important files in this folder. Once done, double-click on the BAT file again. The Command Prompt will ask whether you want to lock your folder. Type Y and press the Enter button.
7. The folder where you have stored your important file will disappear. To bring back the folder, double-click on the BAT file and enter your password. This will bring back the folder again.
6. Now, you will find a RAR file named the same as your original folder. After having the RAR file, you need to delete your original folder. Now whenever anyone tries to extract the RAR file, they would need to enter the password.
You can use them to password protect any files or folders stored on your HDD/SSD. However, the problem with third-party folder lockers is that they often try to install adware on your system. So, make sure to grab folder lockers for Windows from trustable sources.
No, this folder can not be viewed by simply showing the hidden files. The batch file changes the folder's name to that of a system file leading to invisibility of the folder. So, you can be sure about its efficiency.
I this zaffar whin i double click on the batch file, (then, it will ask you to press Y or N). If you press Y, the folder will become visible. is not hide
and also i change folder option do not show hidden files and folders
so what can i do.
Use this option with PSD or JPEGsource images if the file's color profile does not match your workingprofile. You can choose a color profile in which to convert thefirst image and all images in the folder.
TheBatch command runs an action on a folder of files. If you have adigital camera or a scanner with a document feeder, you can alsoimport and process multiple images with a single action. Your scanneror digital camera may need an acquire plug-in modulethat supports actions.
If the third-party plug-in wasn'twritten to import multiple documents at a time, it may not workduring batch-processing or if used as part of an action. Contact theplug-in's manufacturer for further information.
Whenbatch-processing files, you can leave all the files open, closeand save the changes to the original files, or save modified versionsof the files to a new location (leaving the originals unchanged).If you are saving the processed files to a new location, you maywant to create a new folder for the processed files before startingthe batch.
To batch-process using multiple actions,create a new action that plays all the other actions, and then batch-processusing the new action. To batch-process multiple folders,create aliases within a folder to the other folders you want to process,and select the Include All Subfolders option.
You can use this procedure, for example, to sharpen, resize, and save images as JPEGs in their original folders. You create an action that has a sharpen step, a resize step, and then a "Save As JPEG" step. When you batch-process this action, you select Include All Subfolders, make the destination Save And Close, and select Override Action "Save As" Commands.
References to filenames are not supported between operating systems. If an action step references a file or folder name (such as an Open command, Save As command, or adjustment command that loads its settings from a file), execution pauses and the user is prompted for a filename.
Ensures that the files you selected in the Batch commandare processed, without opening the file you may have specified inthe action's Open command. If the action contains an Open commandthat opens a saved file and you don't select this option, the Batchcommand opens and processes only the file you used to record theOpen command (This occurs because the Batch command opens the filespecified by the action after each of the files in the Batch sourcefolder is opened. Because the most recently opened file is the onenamed in the action, the Batch command performs the action on thatfile, and none of the files in the Batch source folder are processed.)
