Upon further investigation, this is great for hiding a folder from the average person. HOWEVER, all one needs to do, who knows about this trick, is simply create a new Key.Bat file and use theirs to unlock your folder. And with ANY password they created in their own Key.Bat file.

@haakondanielsen The files inside will NOT be accessible. If you open the hidden folder, it ends up taking you to the Control Panel, NOT the files themselves.

@MrElvispwnschu If THAT is the case for YOU, then you obviously didn't follow instructions and/or screwed something up when you created your BAT file. This works PERFECT for ME and if I enter the wrong password 2 times, the folder remains hidden and the files inside are NOT accessible in any way.

U MAY THINK THIS WORKS BUT JUST TYPE ANYPASSWORD IN AND IT MAKES THE FOLDER APEER

you can still see and access the folder, if you turn on 'show hidden folders'- in folderoptions

To all of you who find this information useful. Here's what I would do with the BAT file.
Keep the BAT file on a flash drive. Drag it to where you need it on your computer. Then when you are finished with it, DELETE it from your computer. Just keep the BAT stored on your Flash drive.
If you ever lose your Flash drive, you can always create a new BAT file as long as you remember the folder name and password . ;-)
