You'll notice that your folder has now disappeared.
⭕️ Step 7: Access Your Hidden & Locked Folder

To re-lock (and hide) the folder, just hit the batch file again. And remember, you can name the batch file and folder whatever you like, you feel free to make sure of this trick in multiple locations on your Windows machine.
Done

If you need to secure sensitive information, it is recommended to use a more robust solution such as encryption.
