Now a .bat (system) file will be created.

Double Click on this .bat file and you will see a Locker Folder at the same location where your .bat file is saved.

• Double click on that Locker folder and store your personal data in it.
• After storing all your data in that folder again double click on .bat file and press Y there to Lock the folder and press Enter... 

• Now your Locker will hide and only .bat file will be there.
• Double Click on this .bat file and give your password (here kunal) and hit Enter.

That’s it. Now every time you want to open your secret folder you have to enter the password. You can update this folder any time and infinite number of times.
