Here's a Youtube video about how to set up a .bat file that will lock folders for you. Can anyone look at it and tell me if it's valid or not? Thanks!

Useless. All it does is make the folder hidden, and the "password" (can't really even call it that) is stored in plain text in the .bat file

Complete bunk.  All you are doing is tricking the OS into thinking that the "locker" folder is a system folder.
If you have the OS configured to show you system file and hidden files, you will see everything.

The correct way to prevent others from seeing your stuff is to just you the standard security attributes on your objects via File Explorer's "properties" dialog.
