4. Double-click on the .bat file created earlier so that the folder "LOCKER" appears.

5. Input/Move the Folder/Data/File you want to save/hide into folder  "LOCKER " earlier.

6. After that, click the .bat file again, it will display the text  "Are you sure you will lock this folder now? (Y/N)  "If you Select Yes, then write it with the letter Y and press ENTER.. Vice versa. So automatically, the file  "LOCKER " will disappear and the contents therein. And if you want to open the folder, click the .bat file and enter the password you have previously specified.

Hopefully useful.
