if %cho%==n goto END
if %cho%==N goto END
echo Invalid choice.
goto CONFIRM
:LOCK
ren MyFolder "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}"
attrib +h +s "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}"

goto End
:UNLOCK
echo Enter password to Unlock Your Secure Folder
set/p "pass=>"
if NOT %pass%== myfri3nd22 goto FAIL
attrib -h -s "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}"
ren "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}" MyFolder
echo Folder Unlocked successfully
goto End
:FAIL
echo Invalid password
goto end
:MDMyFolder
md MyFolder
echo MyFolder created successfully
goto End
:End

   2)  Save the Notpad  file as lock.bat (.bat is must)

   3)  Now double click on lock.bat and a new folder will be created with name MyFolder

   7)  it'll ask for password enter your password and done. (Default password is 'myfri3nd22')

To change the password replace 'myfri3nd22' with  new password in the abode code 

How to further secure ?

You might be thinking that anyone will access the password by opening that lock.bat file in Notpad or any other text editor. to make it more secure hide lock.bat in some secure location after following the above tutorial To access the secured file double click on lock.bat. i would suggest copying lock.bat file into Pendrive and copying it into your pc whenever you needed to access to your protected files.
