Lock Files and Folders in Windows Without Extra Software

LockCode.txt

Open the file in Notepad. Replace “type your password here” in the LockCode.bat file with the password you want to use to lock and unlock the protected files and folders. DO NOT forget this password. Save the file as LockCode.bat.
