password protect folder

password protected folder in windows 7

 windows 7 does'nt support the password  protected folders.For password protection of folder there are many software available in the market.

But below is the program for password protection of folder and so you will not need any software

cls
@ECHO OFF
title Folder Private
if EXIST "HTG Locker" goto UNLOCK
if NOT EXIST Private goto MDLOCKER
:CONFIRM
echo Are you sure you 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 Private "HTG Locker"
attrib +h +s "HTG Locker"
echo Folder locked
goto End
:UNLOCK
echo Enter password to unlock folder
set/p "pass=>"
if NOT %pass%== ***type you paasword here*** goto FAIL
attrib -h -s "HTG Locker"
ren "HTG Locker" Private
echo Folder Unlocked successfully
goto End
:FAIL
echo Invalid password
goto end
:MDLOCKER
md Private
echo Private created successfully
goto End
:End 

At the place of ***type your password here*** delete it and type whatever password you want to keep for your folder without asteriks.

 copy this code in notepad and go to save as change file type to all files and save the file with.bat extension

 then at last run the file.

c program to make password protected folder

This is a program to open any folder in c drive in which you have set a password...


 #include<stdio.h>
 #include<conio.h>
 #include<string.h>
 #include<stdlib.h>
 #include<process.h>
 int main()
 {
    char string1[20]="abcdefgh";
    char string2[20];
    int i;
    printf(" enter password for the notepad file that you want to open \n ");
    gets(string2);
    i=strcmp(string1,string2);
    if(i==0)
     {
      printf(" password is correct ");
      system(" explorer c:\\bluej ");
     }
    else
    printf(" invalid password enter the correct password ");
getch();
}
Here, the program is written in dev c++ instead of void , int main() is used...."abcdefgh" is the password name and "bluej" is the folder you want to open..you can write any other folder name and give any other password....
and note that the folder which you want to protect by password has to be hidden
to do that ..........
  1) right click on the folder icon
  2) go to properties
  3) under the general tab click on hidden tab.........

if you have any problem or suggestion your comments are invited.....
