How to lock a folder without using any software ?

Got some personal data which you don't want to be accessed by others who use your PC ?? Looking for something that can lock your folders ? Normally you can find lot of softwares that can serve your purpose. What if you can make something for yourself to serve your purpose ? Here is something which I have to lock your folders.

Code :

cls
@ECHO OFF
title Folder Locker
if EXIST "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B303 09D}" goto UNLOCK
if NOT EXIST Locker goto MDLOCKER
:CONFIRM
echo Are you sure u want to Lock the folder(Y/N)
set/p "cho=>"
if %cho%==Y goto LOCK
if %cho%==y goto LOCK
if %cho%==n goto END
if %cho%==N goto END
echo Invalid choice.
goto CONFIRM
:LOCK
ren Locker "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}"
attrib +h +s "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}"
echo Folder locked
goto End
:UNLOCK
echo Enter password to Unlock folder
set/p "pass=>"
if NOT %pass%==type your password here goto FAIL
attrib -h -s "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}"
ren "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}" Locker
echo Folder Unlocked successfully
goto End
:FAIL
echo Invalid password
goto end
:MDLOCKER
md Locker
echo Locker created successfully
goto End
:End

Instructions :

• Copy the above code in a notepad and type your password in place of "type your password here" which is marked red in the above code.
  
• Now save the notepad file with name xxx.bat [ i.e with extension .bat ] .xxx can be any name.
• A batch file will be created. Now double click on it . It will make a folder with the name locker at the same place where the batch file is saved .
  
• Now add the files you want to be locked in that folder .
• Double click on the batch file. It will ask for locking the folder . Type Y(yes). The folder will be locked and hidden .
  
• To unlock the folder ,double click the batch file again and enter the password in the new window opened.
