Dear Usha,

Create a new ZIP folder and move the folder (which you want to lock or give a password to) into the ZIP folder. After moving the folder to the ZIP folder, click on the ZIP folder and go to the file menu. In that menu, you will find the option to add a password.

I hope this helps.

Jigu, Thank you for such wonderful tool. It worked very well. Tell me one more thing, what if locker.bat is deleted by mistake. Then how can we retrieve the data in locker folder. Rgds

Good question, Usha. I too did the same thing while trying out options with the locker folder. Actually, if the locker folder is deleted or the bat file is deleted, one cannot lock it again in the same path, and one needs to copy the files to a different path to lock it once again.

Yes, Anonymous is right. If you don't know the path of your batch type folder and unfortunately delete the folder, then it can reactivate. So, the folder path is necessary.

To provide more security, create one batch file in one drive, put another batch file inside it (located at the same or another drive), and put your data inside it. This gives you more security!!!
