I was looking at the folder passwording batch file I found here a while ago, and I wondered if it would be possible to make a sort of lock-and-key system with my USB drive. Something like the lock file, in a static filepath on the hard drive, only locking and unlocking the folder, and only responding to the correct password. The locker wouldn't have any user input, instead receiving the pass from a "key" batch, on my flash drive which, when the file is run, would send the password to the locker. That method, of course, is all based on my imagination. I don't know the first thing about writing these, and I tried looking at a command list, but it doesn't really help at all. If this is actually possible, could anyone whip something up?
I barely understand what I wrote, so if any of this is gibberish, say so and I'll do my best to make it clearer.
I know there is software like this that locks the entire system unless a certain flash drive is plugged in. Not sure if it can be made to work with only certain files, or even what it's called, sorry.
I believe you're thinking of [url=http://www.montpellier-informatique.com/predator/en/]Predator.[/url] It's cool, but locks the whole computer. No, I'm just looking for a one-folder thing. And the key bat is just stored and run from the drive, it doesn't use the stick as a physical key.
Ok, I might have a simpler explanation. A batch file that can apply the system hidden attribute to a folder it creates, and removes those attributes if given the proper password. I have a file like this, but it runs on its own. What I'm looking for is a bat that does that, but without any functions accessible from the outside, instead recieving the password from a different bat. When run, the "Key" sends the password to the "Lock", and the lock does what it's supposed to do. Since the lock exists in a fixed path, the key would just need that path written into it. Assuming it's possible, is it also possible to have the lock file contained within the folder it hides?

Used it before you can even encrypt the folders.
This is the closest I've found to what your asking.
