Password Protect any folder - batch-file

Question

I used a tutorial at this link for protecting one of my important files,
The CODE is:
cls
#ECHO OFF
title coolhacking-tricks.blogspot.com
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%== coolhacks 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
But when I run lock.bat I don't get a screen asking for a password. Instead a screen appears and states: "the system cannot find the batch label specified" and suddenly the screen disappears without waiting a fraction of a second. The uploader was unable to help me with my problem.

Answer 1

Run this in the the root folder of your drive (assuming your script used the same GUID as the script on that page):
dir /b /s /a:s *.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}
It'll take less time if you can narrow down the location to a particular parent folder.
Unhide the folder with these two commands:
attrib -s -h "C:\path\to\Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}"
ren "C:\path\to\Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}" newname
And next time steer clear of crappy "security tools" like that. It doesn't password-protect anything in the first place. It merely renames a folder an sets the hidden and system attributes.

Answer 2

Maybe use this (but re:
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%== beef 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
