This video is amazing its working ! if u have a problem and u cant change it to .bat ! maybe i have your extension hidden ! to show it ! go to computer ..Organize ( at the top bar to the left ) then Folder and search option Then View ( 2nd one in the bar top .. ) then uncheck on Hide extensions for known types files .. then u will find the text changed to .txt and so on with every thing on your computer ! now change the text for locked.bat and remove the txt ! hope u had a problem like that u can now do it :) good luck
Need help, after renaming it, i dont get the "are you sure you want to change it" message, or .txt part. rename it to locket.bat but the private folder doesn't pop up
To the people moaning about the edit exploit, you gotta remember not everyone's techsavvy and probably wont think to click edit. Plus, if you put your password in lower-case, it blends it pretty well. Thanks for the video, man. It was a great help!
If an "intruder" would just change the file back to text, couldn't he just see what a password is and then change it back to .bat and access the folder?
been trying to keep a journal on my laptop when i don't have my journal with me. my parents have access to this computer. thank you for saving my embarrassment :)
I like how your video is quick and simple, but this is like tying a boat to the dock, its not locked, all someone has to due is right click locket.bat and select "edit" and then see what the password is.
its not secure go control panel --->folder option--->go view tabs--->click show hidden files and folder-->and uncheck hide protected operating system files
when you copy the coding into the text doc, instead of saving and changing the name in the folder, do a save as and type "locket.bat" in file name box and underneath there with be a "save as type" and change that to all files. And wah lah, your problem is fixed.
You did something wrong, then. Make sure you turned on the displaying of file extensions. windows.microsoft[dot]com/en-us/windows/show-hide-file-name-extensions
@Overreaction, try changing the folder view. If you are running Windows 7 do this, open any folder, then in the upper right portion you will see the 'Organize'>Folder and search option>View> uncheck the Hide Extensions for known files. After that, you will see the extension of all the files you have. Hope it helps.
actually you can, open a folder, go to folder- and search options, display, and then turn off: hide file extentions for common known files (it could be named a bit different because thats just a translation i made from my language.)
To Throw people off even more you can change the wording that appears in the command box. Ex1: 7 lines down where it says "Are you sure you want to lock the folder(Y/N)" You could change the text to "Are you sure you want to format your hard drive(Y/N)" when you hit "Y" it will only lock your file. Ex2: 21 lines down where it says "Enter password to unlock folder" You could change the text to "Enter password to destroy the hard drive". when you enter your password it will only unlock the file
Yes, folder stay hidden even without file. If you want to get it show up, you should create this file again, using this tutorial and remember your password from the 1st file.
I save the folder in private folder but but mistake folder name changed that the private folder name change he disabled the folder inside the private folder how to see again the previous folder please 🙏 tell how to see folder.
When the file is opened and the locket file is clicked on the code appears in the preview pane showing the password. The preview pane can be hidden, but if someone views it they will know the password. What can be done about that?
Tip 2: Rename the "Locker.bat" with another word... NOT "Locker", duh... Change the extension to something else, like EXE or COM. Remember the name! Write it under your bed or something. You will know that before running the bat file you have to change the extension back to BAT. Fill the folder where your BAT file is with LOTS of stupid stuff, pics, folders, sub folders, etc. It is better to hide a secret book in a shelf with hundreds of other books than in an empty shelf, isn't it?
okay so i did it and it's good. i just cant understand that "check the signs (more than)" line before the code. and when you execute the code, there's a "(more than)" line at the end of the question. what is it for exactly?
Right. To solve that: Change the ext. of "Locker.bat" to something else with EXE or COM extension. REMEMBER which name you chose. If your smart bro double click on it nothing will happen...plus he will be afraid to click on an EXE or COM file, right? But IF you suspect he MIGHT open it with EDIT: Fill the folder with many folders, sub folders, irrelevant files, lots of stuff. Only YOU know that in that big mix there is a file called "Something.exe" that should be renamed to .BAT to run...
try this one it works for me. open the text file and then click save as then check the box below --instead of saving it as-- Text document.txt select--All Files and then name it locket.bat then save it. i just delete the text file later and leave the .bat file. hope it works for you.
The video says to rename the .txt file to "locket.bat" but the description says to rename it to "locker.bat" You might want to fix that if the text before .bat actually matters.
What you made here is briliant, can be added a command to automaticaly encrypt/hide when shut down the computer? I also have 2 questions. 1. If someone delete de .bat file..what will happend with the files saved in the folder? 2. It's so easy o open with notepad the bat file and to see/change the password xD.
Guys I found the problem why when after you saved the text document, and tries to open it, it just simply open up the document. After you typed in your pass, you click "file" and click "Save as" and go to the folder you wanted it to be, named it whatever but needs to have .bat at the end like "badass.bat". Under the renaming, you see "Text Documents (*txt)", change that to "All Files" and save. Then just follow the rest of the steps.
i did exactly as your video when i run the lockat.bat my private folder disappears and replaced by HTG Locker if i click on HTG locker my content are displayed the only thing it hides is the private folder in your video the private folder totaly disappears and its not visible till you put your password but with me private folder disappears in its place HTG Locker apears which at the click all contents are displayed where am i going wrong
Need help, after renaming it, i dont get the "are you sure you want to change it" message, or .txt part. rename it to locket.bat but the private folder doesn't pop up
Got it, put the code on text document and go to Save as..., put it in the name box LOCKER.BAT (with caps lock) and change the type to ''all files'', then save it.
Gabriel Arimura Worked but when i press the 'Y" key when it tells me about locking file. But i immeidatelty get this message: "attrib' is not recognized as an internal or external command perable program or batch file folder locked"
help, I tried to rename the private folder and locket. but when I open it again, the folder is empty. pls tell me where to find the missing file in it?
***** Worked but when i press the 'Y" key when it tells me about locking file. But i immediately get this message: "attrib' is not recognized as an internal or external command operable program or batch file folder locked"
what would happen to the folder if the file was accidentally deleted for whatever reason? would the folder stay hidden? if so, how would you get it to show up?
If the secure folder is for documents do I need to OPEN it with the password to save new documents as I write or download them from online sources or can items be saved as usual?
This is actually good, but I have a question. How to hide your password while typing? Cause this is useless when they see you input your password. Is there anyway to hide it? I did code back in college but I had forgotten in already. Any help possible?
Traz147 It's worse than that all you have to do is set some settings so that you can see the hidden files and you will see the folder and be able to open it
took a bit to figure out how to save the .txt file right. if you save it as a .txt first, it will STAY a .txt file. You have to save it under "all files" the first time to make it convert to to a .bat.
bro, followed your instruction at first everything is ok but when i unlock it(I enetered the correct password) the folder private is empty,what happen and what should I do?
The 'private' folder already appear, and I lock the folder again, but I still can open the folder even when I open the locker.bat it asks password, please tell me why it can't work for me
dude it failed for me. I have a word file i put the word file in your private folder thingy.i had done everything u said. it worked normally but i opened word and went to the private folder and opened the file with no password requied.
it doesn't hide it 100%, you can access to your files just by searching them by clicking the windows home button and then type the name of your hidden file(s) and it will show on the results and you can even open it or view it directly in the explorer
ok im stuck in the open the text document and when I inlarge it its blank how the hell can I put a password in if thare isn't anewahere that says put password here ?
Not good. Even when the folder is hidden, you cand right click the locket.bat file, and then Edit. The content of the file, including password, appears.
Lock the locket.bat file by right clicking and selecting the "Compress and email..." option, click the "Advanced" tab and then the "Set password..." button. Enter a password and click okay. You can now delete the locket.bat file as a copy of it will be in the new ".rar" folder and someone will be required to have a password to access it. I don't know if this helps but let me know what you think about it.
This is not secure at all. When you rename the folder back to .txt, the code from this video is visible again. So any one can get the password and rename the folder back to .bat, and they can get the content.
This video is amazing its working ! if u have a problem and u cant change it to .bat ! maybe i have your extension hidden ! to show it ! go to computer ..Organize ( at the top bar to the left ) then Folder and search option Then View ( 2nd one in the bar top .. ) then uncheck on Hide extensions for known types files .. then u will find the text changed to .txt and so on with every thing on your computer ! now change the text for locked.bat and remove the txt ! hope u had a problem like that u can now do it :) good luck
Thanks man, actually worked !
you are welcome glad i could help :D
Adham Ahmed Thx!
Need help, after renaming it, i dont get the "are you sure you want to change it" message, or .txt part. rename it to locket.bat but the private folder doesn't pop up
To the people moaning about the edit exploit, you gotta remember not everyone's techsavvy and probably wont think to click edit. Plus, if you put your password in lower-case, it blends it pretty well.
Thanks for the video, man. It was a great help!
This isn't very secure cause you can still right click on the .bat file > open as notepad and check the password.
True
yea
but you can convert batch file to exe file
from here www.battoexeconverter.com/
Ahamed Basim yea this is a cool trick BRO THANKSSSSS :D
Ahamed Basim
Lahhhv youuuu.
works perfectly. was having some issues earlier with changing the file to bat but your instructions helped a lot. thx
It is so easy to bypass it. I almost believed it was perfect however it is brilliant!!!
If an "intruder" would just change the file back to text, couldn't he just see what a password is and then change it back to .bat and access the folder?
If we delete the "locker.bat",,does it harm our file that saved in "private" folder
Please reply me.
when u open it, u need to change the name from "save as". Worked for me :)
Tip2:
Be sure that in windows explorer, TOOLS, FOLDER OPTIONS, VIEW you select "Don't show hidden files".
been trying to keep a journal on my laptop when i don't have my journal with me. my parents have access to this computer. thank you for saving my embarrassment :)
instructions weren't clear enough , i got my shoe stuck in my ear
how....???
works almost fine, cept the most important thing: right or wrong password will unlock the folder lmao (wtf? why and how)
I like how your video is quick and simple, but this is like tying a boat to the dock, its not locked, all someone has to due is right click locket.bat and select "edit" and then see what the password is.
its not secure
go control panel --->folder option--->go view tabs--->click show hidden files and folder-->and uncheck hide protected operating system files
this is awesome and wonderful, you are truely a master of coding
I do what you do but when I dubble click on locket.bat it only reopen notepad. I dont get the new folder privade it only reopen notepad again. Why?
same mate same
when you copy the coding into the text doc, instead of saving and changing the name in the folder, do a save as and type "locket.bat" in file name box and underneath there with be a "save as type" and change that to all files. And wah lah, your problem is fixed.

tq. ..also for more useful features, google Folderchanger
nic ee
The file does not go away when I lock it. It's still there in a blurry shape and you can still click it...
@Overreaction, try changing the folder view. If you are running Windows 7 do this, open any folder, then in the upper right portion you will see the 'Organize'>Folder and search option>View> uncheck the Hide Extensions for known files. After that, you will see the extension of all the files you have. Hope it helps.
Try to use "Save as" in Notepad
try saving as im not sure it will work but it may
just got the text document press Files>Save As..>and then change the file type. Hope it helps
This works perfectly in Windows 8 64-bit too! Thx for the tutorial :-)
actually you can, open a folder, go to folder- and search options, display, and then turn off: hide file extentions for common known files

thank u it worked now my persona pics are safe from my class :3
If youtube still had star ratings I would give you a 5/5 star rating!!!
It wont change the .bat txt to a bat file. (my windows proffesional 64bit doesnt give a message like your pc)
Organize > Folder and search options > View > Hide extensions for known file types
Yes, folder stay hidden even without file. If you want to get it show up, you should create this file again, using this tutorial and remember your password from the 1st file.
I save the folder in private folder but but mistake folder name changed that the private folder name change he disabled the folder inside the private folder how to see again the previous folder please 🙏 tell how to see folder.
i got a question. people can just right click and press edit and see the password and then get into the folder. how can you avoid that
When the file is opened and the locket file is clicked on the code appears in the preview pane showing the password. The preview pane can be hidden, but if someone views it they will know the password. What can be done about that?
0:19: "open the document and paste the code that you find online"
I don't understand this. Where do I find a code?
Sorry, now you can find code in desription, but RUclips block some symbols, so be careful
yup so personal tapes are protected from 'accidental' snoopers good enough for me haha
Worked like a charm! Thank you!
loved your video man !! another subscriber !!
Not working on my window 7
So it will not be seen when you type the file name in search bar at the start menu right?
wow now I can keep my password.txt safe.thank to this useful video.
it works. but if i delete that .bat file and create a new file including any password, we can inlock the folder easily
Tip 2:
Rename the "Locker.bat" with another word... NOT "Locker", duh...
Change the extension to something else, like EXE or COM.
Remember the name! Write it under your bed or something.
You will know that before running the bat file you have to change the extension back to BAT.
Fill the folder where your BAT file is with LOTS of stupid stuff, pics, folders, sub folders, etc. It is better to hide a secret book in a shelf with hundreds of other books than in an empty shelf, isn't it?
worked thanks man you're the man!
Wow, thanks! It actually works :)
Haha I've just spent the last five minutes locking/unlocking the folder
I have power!
please tell me how its work
OMG I WORK FOR ME I TRYED IT AGAIN AND IT WORKED
You are welcome!
thank you now my school work is safe
Just change the "locket" file back to a .txt and you can see what they have set the password to.
okay so i did it and it's good. i just cant understand that "check the signs (more than)" line before the code. and when you execute the code, there's a "(more than)" line at the end of the question. what is it for exactly?
IT WORKED THANKS SO MUCH FOR MAKING THIS TUTORIAL
can you tell me where we can find that code in there
Right. To solve that:
Change the ext. of "Locker.bat" to something else with EXE or COM extension. REMEMBER which name you chose.
If your smart bro double click on it nothing will happen...plus he will be afraid to click on an EXE or COM file, right?
But IF you suspect he MIGHT open it with EDIT:
Fill the folder with many folders, sub folders, irrelevant files, lots of stuff.
Only YOU know that in that big mix there is a file called "Something.exe" that should be renamed to .BAT to run...
One Question! Can I set multiple Passwords to open different folders. But still using the same batch file??
I can not get any private file when doing your instrutions
what is he pasting on the new folder ? what should i paste? please say
try this one it works for me. open the text file and then click save as then check the box below --instead of saving it as-- Text document.txt select--All Files and then name it locket.bat then save it. i just delete the text file later and leave the .bat file. hope it works for you.
not useful 😧 i can find everything i locked before by the search place
Excellent tutorial, worked very well.
The video says to rename the .txt file to "locket.bat" but the description says to rename it to "locker.bat"
You might want to fix that if the text before .bat actually matters.

Followed the steps exactly but the folder didnt actually lock it was still accessible. Help?
Thanks, I have a question. What kind of language is it?
@Casey Could you explain more in detail please?
if you have "see invisible folders" you can still see the folder
Guys I found the problem why when after you saved the text document, and tries to open it, it just simply open up the document. After you typed in your pass, you click "file" and click "Save as" and go to the folder you wanted it to be, named it whatever but needs to have .bat at the end like "badass.bat". Under the renaming, you see "Text Documents (*txt)", change that to "All Files" and save. Then just follow the rest of the steps.
Works great, thanks man.
you can probably make your password like "%filedocumentdeny/reject%" or somethin that makes it look like its naturally part of the code text.
thank you, it works great!
i did exactly as your video when i run the lockat.bat my private folder disappears and replaced by HTG Locker if i click on HTG locker my content are displayed the only thing it hides is the private folder in your video the private folder totaly disappears and its not visible till you put your password but with me private folder disappears in its place HTG Locker apears which at the click all contents are displayed where am i going wrong

thanks a lot bro...u r genius....

yup same problem
lmgtfy.com/?q=how+to+make+batch+file Next time do it your self. Google is your Multi Trillion Dollar Company Friend ;)
unhide the file extension name on the control panel.. then rename it again..
when you edit the text file you click on file an save as locket.bat
@@jhaygonzaga5391 how to do it..?
This is actually good, but I have a question. How to hide your password while typing? Cause this is useless when they see you input your password. Is there anyway to hide it? I did code back in college but I had forgotten in already. Any help possible?
Finally I can hide my porn properly
no, you cant... when someone copies whatever.BAT into notepad he or she can see your pasword...
Traz147 It's worse than that all you have to do is set some settings so that you can see the hidden files and you will see the folder and be able to open it
lol
thats wut ima do
Right click -> edit. And your pass be showed
Brilliant 🥰🥰
took a bit to figure out how to save the .txt file right. if you save it as a .txt first, it will STAY a .txt file. You have to save it under "all files" the first time to make it convert to to a .bat.

Thanks. It works in windows 8.1 aswell
I have a problem in Step 3. The renamed file name is "locker.bat", but the file format is still .txt . How to solve it?
Thank you so much! It worked!!!
Thanks, now my password are safe
didn't work. Just opened the document. PLEASE HELP!
same problem bro
it doesn't hide it 100%, you can access to your files just by searching them by clicking the windows home button and then type the name of your hidden file(s) and it will show on the results and you can even open it or view it directly in the explorer
ok im stuck in the open the text document and when I inlarge it its blank how the hell can I put a password in if thare isn't anewahere that says put password here ?
thx, now im happy, also you got a new sub :)
Ok good tutorial but not secure can be broken by archiving the folder to a zip an then opening. You can now move your files out
Not good. Even when the folder is hidden, you cand right click the locket.bat file, and then Edit. The content of the file, including password, appears.
for someone reason when I double click after I renamed the file and did all the instructions, the "private" folder wont pop up
I'm with mr thredaycgrace down there but what if something messes up and i can't access my own folder?
is it "locket.bat" or "locker.bat". because in the description it says "locker.bat" but in the video it says "locket.bat"
Lock the locket.bat file by right clicking and selecting the "Compress and email..." option, click the "Advanced" tab and then the "Set password..." button. Enter a password and click okay. You can now delete the locket.bat file as a copy of it will be in the new ".rar" folder and someone will be required to have a password to access it. I don't know if this helps but let me know what you think about it.
Well that's all fine and dandy but it's still very easy to right click the locker.bat file and chose edit to see the password, no?
This is not secure at all. When you rename the folder back to .txt, the code from this video is visible again. So any one can get the password and rename the folder back to .bat, and they can get the content.
But if some one deleted my locket every thing will go away is there is a away to prevent the locket from being deleted ?
