sir i am in big trouble......first i locked a subfolder under the main folder Documents by using the .bat technique but then i also used this method in the root folder (i.e Documents)to lock all the contains of the folder (Documents) which included the locked subfolder. Then when i tried to open the documents folder by giving the password it is not opening though the password is right......plz help me to retrive my files as they are very important.

There is one problem though, the folder is only hidden. If i select "Show hidden folders" the password protected one is shown and i can open it without password. I really need a password on it. Please help!

if anyone will open the bat file using notepad, they can see what the password is..
after locking the folder "Secure" and hiding it, move the bat file to another folder or you can delete it so you'll have no files in that folder.. if you want to show/open the "Secure" folder, move the bat file or create a new one(if you deleted it) to that folder and open it and enter the password..
