@MrLagag. This a problem no matter what folder the batch file is used in or on. I am not sure what changed., but simply making a new folder doesn't work.

Hello, Yes like I said this is a minor problem for most people that use the batch file I would just recommend using encrypted folders Such as folder locks, folder lockers, etc But obviously you get the point what I am trying to so of course so I would recommend using other types and methods for folder locking To keep your files and other usage of file containment into confidential purpose if you want to because the batch file is just useless And here is why, anybody could re edit the batch file means not only they know what the source of the code is they can change the password to unlock the folder and they can see what your hiding which is a confidential leak hazard which is dangerous But for most people they do not understand most of the folders and their good use but they don't know the obvious risks and downsides of these types of programs and batch They just look at the obvious parts only and call it a day for sometime until their figuring out what bugs are happening and risks so this is why you should think before you do it But anyways as I said I would recommend using something else for locking folders or encrypting them just not this one because it's the worst.

here you just need to keep both c++ exe file in separate folder wherever you want ......of you can delete that also and keep cpp and whenever you need to lock /unlock you can generate file to via code...Bingo ! wow and most important thing it is not showing in hidden folder

Hi guys ,
I lost my file by move my folder in another place , can anyone help me

File Lost During Moving
Data transfer from one device to another or from a folder to another is a common and easy operation. The simplest way is using Ctrl + C and Ctrl + V or Ctrl + X and Ctrl +V.

Its a good way to protect files, Thanks to it's creator🥰... I am using this for a year. But by mistake, I've delete the batch file after hiding my files. Is there any way to get them back without batch file. I need to know where the files goes after hiding them. Please help me🥺

hi my file is lock but i cant unlock the file. plz help me

Watch this video for a demonstration and understanding on how to use folderlock
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SfTnDvINg3w

Is there a way to disable direct access the folder my just searching up the item in the search box?

Guys we can just right click on the .bat file and click on edit to see the password. I don't think it is safe

Use my software https://github.com/hr097/Folder-Locker-hider-in-windows It has all features of security

Guys Please help. I used this and locked my 300GB data in my external HD. Now I have forgotten my password. How can I find my password or retrieve my data? Please help

Thank u BrownBlackBlues! The issue is that I got the password but the folder it gives me is empty while when I see the properties of my HD, it shows 7GB free out of 250GB. now what?

i can solve
it

Enter to the folder without the pass....

file:///C:/PATH_TO_FOLDER/Control%20Panel.%7B21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D%7D

or in options view all files....and enter to.... Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}

if i delete my lock folder by locking in this way is this available in my drive?

I'm trying to unlock by clicking the .bat, but it won't open the control panel. what do I do?

Can this private folder be created separately for every drive?

Does not do much, the files still show up when searched for which is not what i wanted.
I previously had a similar solutions that completely wipes the folder once it is locked then recreates it when given the right password, the files are missing if you try to search for them while they are locked away.
The problem is that i reset my laptop, ....

What is this code for? The folder is only hided. It is not secured or encrypted. Using this code seems to work in windows environments but I give you a hint. Mount the drive or stick in linux and you see what happened with the files - nothing in the aspect of security.

it contain virus

it contain virus

NOPE
