Password Folder, Simplified Video. (Encryption level= girlfriend-proof)

[jhgqwjrehgiuicniwivvyt]

Hey, I have made a video-guide on how to password protect your folders very easily without software on Windows. Optionally you can use software, shown in the video.

 

I have simplified the known batch-file code from Howtogeek article so it isn't such a tideous process to lock and unlock your folders.

Disclaimer: This is not real encryption, just a very simple way to keep curious eyes away.

 

Good luck.

I couldn't paste the simplified code in the YouTube description, so it is here: 

cls 
@ECHO OFF 
title Folder Private 
if EXIST "HTG Locker" goto UNLOCK 
if NOT EXIST Private goto MDLOCKER 
:LOCK 
ren Private "HTG Locker" 
attrib +h +s "HTG Locker" 
goto End 
:UNLOCK 
set/p "pass=>" 
if NOT %pass%== PASSWORD_GOES_HERE goto FAIL 
attrib -h -s "HTG Locker" 
ren "HTG Locker" Private 
goto End 
:FAIL 
goto end 
:MDLOCKER 
md Private 
goto End 
:End

Just use VeraCrypt.

Yes. This is meant as a way to go if you don't want to rely on third-party software.

 

Only your own .bat file or .exe file.

Or you could just tell your girlfriend that sometimes you consume porn but that that doesn't devalue your relationship.

What girl has ever truly accepted that though?

pretty sure an encrypted password protected .rar would do it

not .zip

Yea I do use .rar password encryption for my self-recorded porn and other private private stuff. But all the other stuff like pictures of naked women from the internet and Pokémon character porn, I really don't care if people pursue to find that by prying in my stuff, makes them bad human and not my friend, but I do think it's a good idea to hide away the stuff for their eyes (because human is curious) and this way is way easier than using .rar when you have first made the .bat file or .exe file which you can dublicate as much you want.

 

Extracting .rar files with password requires a lot of CPU usage and time if it is big files.

 

It's a personal preference not trying to make anyone use it if they know something easier/better.
