		<description>Yes, but if you name it something simple yet scary (ls -a is pretty well known among 7-year-olds in my community) like &quot;.hard-drive-encryptor&quot; or &quot;.osx-base-code&quot; and put it in the Hard Drive itself rather than your Home folder, it&#039;s not as obvious. Also, if you put several dummy folders like that with several more dummies in there, most people will just give up.</description>

		<description>HI everyone! Here is a simple script to manage your folder security.

IT has the following FEATURES:
- LOCK a Folder / LOCK a Folder and hide it.
- UNLOCK a Folder
- UNHIDE a Folder / UNHIDE a folder and UNLOCK it.
- You can lock/unlock a folder of your choice. Just type in the folder name.
- You can UNHIDE a hidden folder of your choice, but you need to know the name of the folder you are going to UNHIDE.
- MENU

Just copy and paste the code below in notepad and save it as filename.bat and then run it. That’s it!

You’re free to copy and modify the code and sell it if you want.

		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>HI everyone! Here is a simple script to manage your folder security.</p>
<p>IT has the following FEATURES:<br />
- LOCK a Folder / LOCK a Folder and hide it.<br />
- UNLOCK a Folder<br />
- UNHIDE a Folder / UNHIDE a folder and UNLOCK it.<br />
- You can lock/unlock a folder of your choice. Just type in the folder name.<br />
- You can UNHIDE a hidden folder of your choice, but you need to know the name of the folder you are going to UNHIDE.<br />
- MENU</p>
<p>Just copy and paste the code below in notepad and save it as filename.bat and then run it. That’s it!</p>
<p>You’re free to copy and modify the code and sell it if you want.<br />
