[Default Password::  123]  You can change this any time.

* How to use Locker ?.

Good questions – Open the folder which you want to lock. copy this file in that folder. and open the .bat file and automatically create a Private folder. then move your secret data (photos, music, video, wallpaper, documents, ppt presentations, etc whatever) everything files safe in Private folder.

Reopen your locker files and you see the message like this Are you sure you want to lock the folder(Y/N). then write Y for lock and N for close the window.  If you write Y then your Private folder will be automatically locked. It means your data is locked in Private folder. 

*  How to Open Locked folder ?.

DoubleClick on you locker file (.bat file) or open locker file and you see the message window like this Enter password to unlock folder. Please Enter your password here because is not an unlock your Private folder without your password.

[Note: Before saving your locker file please change this (line no 23)  “if NOT %pass%== 123 goto FAIL” only replace the 123 to the password.  123 is current password.]

If you don’t see the code on top of then copy this code. I will show the code again. save code with *.bat extension
