To make such a folder follow these steps:

Step 2 : Save the notepad file as ".bat" file (.bat indicates "windows batch file")

Step 3 : Now double click on the ".bat" file AND A NEW FOLDER WILL BE CREATED NAMED               "MY FOLDER"

Step 4 : Copy all the data/files you want protected in that folder

Step 5 : Now again double click the ".bat" file and command prompt will be open ,press Y.

Step 6 : Now the folder will be hidden , and whenever you want to access that folder double click  on
             the ".bat" file and it will ask for the password .



(NOTE : YOU CAN SET YOUR PASSWORD BY REPLACING "LOCK" WITH YOUR OWN    DESIRED PASSWORD IN THE ABOVE CODE * BEFORE SAVING THE .BAT FILE)
