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.
