How To Make Invisible Password Protected Folder!!!

Do you want to password protect your folder? Do you want to make it invisible so that it remains unnoticed by the normal users? Well here is a way to do that. In this post I will show you how to make a password protected folder in Windows without using any additional software. Here is is step by step procedure to create a password protected folder.

 

How to create a Password Protected Folder?

 

Step-1: Create a new folder (Right-click -> New -> Folder) and give it any name of your choice. For instance I name it as ABC.

Step-2: Now in this folder place all the important files, documents or any folders that you want to password protect.

Step-3: Now Right-click on this folder (ABC) and select the option Send To -> 
Compressed (zipped) Folder.

Step-4: Now a new compressed zipped folder gets created next this folder (ABC) with the same name.

Step-5: Double-click on this compressed zipped folder and you should see your original folder (ABC) here.

Step-6: Now goto the File menu and select the option Add a password.
ie: File -> Add a password

Now a small window will pop up and here you can set your desired password. Once the password is set, the folder will ask for the password every time it is opened. Thus you have now created the password protected folder.

 

How to make it Invisible?

 

Step-1: Now Right-click on this password protected folder and select Properties.

Step-2: At the bottom select the option Hidden and press OK. Now your folder gets invisible (hidden).

Step-3: In order to unhide this folder go to My Computer – >Tools -> Folder options. Switch to View tab, scroll down and under Hidden files and folders you’ll see the following two options

• Do not show hidden files and folders
• Show hidden files and folders

 

Now select the second option and press OK. Now the invisible folder becomes visible in it’s location. To access it you need the password. To make it invisible again repeat step -1 through step-3 and select the first option and click OK. Now the folder becomes invisible once again.

Forget your Password Today… Set a New One !! :)

We live in a world of Digital Darkness. A Bright Flash Ray of Internet is making us Blind. One who does not know about Facebook and Orkut is a Fool, however one who put his personal and professional information on these so called Social Vitamins of Digital World is a Super Fool, giving rights to others to enter his resources and steal everything away.
One should follow a Password Policy in order to make our Personal and Professional resources secure.

1: Passphrase should be of atleast 8 length

2: One should include Characters(A-Z), Numbers(0-9) and Special Characters(! @ # $ % etc) in the Passphrase

3: Don’t be lazy to make your Web Browsers remember your password. Put your credentials manually everytime you login to your profiles.

4: Just try to remember the Account Security Question you were asked to configure at the time of Signing Up for the Account, I am sure you don’t. Always keep a track of it. Keep on checking it.

5: Keep changing your password on a Weekly or Monthly basis.

6: Do your Spouse or Best Friend know your password. I think Yes. Never share your Account Credentials with anyone, not even with your dearest one.

7: In a hurry, just got an important Email. Avoid using other’s computer to check your Emails. There might be software installed in the computer, keeping an eye on your personal information.
More than 50% of the Email IDs are already Hacked and Account holders do not know anything about it. Make sure yours in not one of them.
