If you want to get file encryption software to password protect sensitive files on Windows 11/10. You can create a simple script that hides and unhides folders with a password prompt. This isn't secure but can deter casual snooping.

Example:

@ECHO OFF title Folder Locker if EXIST "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}" ( rmdir "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}" /s /q echo Folder Unlocked ) else ( md "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}" attrib +h +s "Control Panel.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}" echo Folder Locked ) pause

  • Save this as Locker.bat.
  • When run, it toggles the visibility of the folder.

 

This is a good choice if you are finding a file encryption software for Windows 11/10. I have used it on my own computer several times and there have been no abnormalities.
