• When you will copy this code in the notepad the source code will come in this shape ‘’123456’’, you can change it with your desired password.
• Click the save as option and name the file as bat.
• After saving the file a batch file will appear where the file is saved. Open that file and a pop up Window of MS DOS will appear on screen.
• When you will open this option will appear “Are you sure to lock the folder’’, enter y and press enter.
• Again on opening it will ask you to enter the password which you saved earlier in the source code, just enter the password to go further.

The locker will work fine if you have taken all the steps accurately. About the hidden part you can see the folder by name of locker and there will be a batch file also named as locker. The batch file will be the key and the folder will be the locker. Then you can put your documents in the folder and open the batch file and give it permission to lock it. Hide the folder after giving permission. You can access to the folder any time then by entering the password there.
