I used this bat script file to hide a folder called "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}"
cls
@ECHO OFF
title Hello
if EXIST "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}" goto UNLOCK
if NOT EXIST MyFolder goto MDMyFolder
:CONFIRM
echo Are you sure to lock this 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 MyFolder "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}"
attrib +h +s "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}"
echo Folder locked
goto End
:UNLOCK
echo Enter password to Unlock Your Secure Folder
set/p "pass=>"
if NOT %pass%== fucku goto FAIL
attrib -h -s "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}"
ren "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}" MyFolder
echo Folder Unlocked successfully
goto End
:FAIL
echo Invalid password
goto end
:MDMyFolder
md MyFolder
echo MyFolder created successfully
goto End
:End
It was working perfectly until today. Now when i try to unlock this folder, it wont work. I'm on windows 8.1.
In the command prompt if I type dir /a:h it shows me that the directory is there.
But when I use the command attrib -h -s "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}" It says:
Access denied to folder "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}"
Just use that "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}" in your path. Append it to where you have "MyFolder" at.
