Creating Password Protected Hidden Folder without Additional Software (Windows)

We all have valuable data which we like to protect and hide from the eyes of others working on the same PC. There are many ways of this like hiding it from folder options or creating user permissions or using some file safe software. My method is pretty straightforward and does not involve any of the following methods listed above. The main advantage of this trick is that when the folder is locked then there is no way to access this folder without unlocking it.Content in it does not show up in any kind of search while locked.

I came across a script quite a long time back which does the above mentioned task by creating a folder named locker. Running the script when the folder is visible will lock the folder and make it non existent. Running the script when the folder is hidden will unlock the folder if provided with the correct password. The script is as follows.

Web Report Generation made easy

With every management system you need good reporting tools and by reporting tools I mean tools which help you in creating beautiful and functional reports requiring minimal coding and very less user effort on the front end. Here is where JQueryDatatable comes in. If you need table functionality in your website and you do not want to write code for table functions like sorting, styling, searching , paging ,exporting etc. JQuery Datatables is your blessing in disguise. 

Coming on to my project , I needed to generate custom reports according to user's needs from a master report containing everything . My approach was as follows : I extracted all the required data from my database , bind that data with a normal HTML table and then applied JQuery Datatable to it. With that I got the functionality to hide columns on specific events , sort table column wise automatically on header click ,add and remove rows dynamically and refresh the table with new source without reloading the whole page.
