Tip.


If you copy and paste directly from this blog, it will copy a "#" before each line. remove it and the space directly after it.


Warnings

You need to store your password carefully

Do not rename the file after it is secured. It will no longer be protected.

Someone who really understands batch files can figure out your password. If you really need to protect your data then you should encrypt it.

Programs like 7zip File Manager will be able to access the folder.

Windows Search could find it.
