Hi Vaibhav, I was shocked to hear that u're just 14! You invented the code yourself? If that's true, then u're a genius! Way to go! Anyway, i discovered some 'Problems' in your code(not bugs). First, if a person has access to your code, then its as simple as a pie for him to discover the password and moreover if he is a bit too geeky then he can altogether do away with the password prompt too. Second, if a person boots the computer with a Linux Boot CD or with any other OS except any Windows OS then he/she can easily access the files in the folder. Another 'Problem' I found was that if you loacked a folder on your USB and connected it to another computer, then the folder is visible. Also, you cant lock a folder with a Limited Account.

I hope you may be able to rectify them if you are revising ur code for another program in the future. :)


PS: I'm 17 yrs old (Turned 17 this August)

Oh no! You're wrong! You can access your files again even if you've deleted the .bat file. Just create it again. As simple as that. Or you could just boot a Live CD of any Linux distro and go to the folder you saved your hidden folder in. :)
