You might be thinking that anyone can access
the password by opening that lock.bat file in
Notepad or any other text editor. To make it

location after following the above tutorial To
access the secured file double click on
lock.bat. I would suggest copying lock.bat file
into Pendrive and copying it into your
computer whenever you required to access to
your protected files.
