Moderators SmOke_N Posted October 10, 2011 Moderators Share Posted October 10, 2011 Why? Common sense plays a role in the basics of understanding AutoIt... If you're lacking in that, do us all a favor, and step away from the computer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WILLYWILLYWILLY Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 Why? Probably because he wants to hack someone's computer. He sounds likea Borat. His namea Borat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FastJMAN1 Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Lol >< @Op: Use FileSetAtrrib: FileSetAttrib("<PathToFile>","+H") That only works in XP not Windows 7 I'm trying to find a way to do it in Windows7 I'm creating a floating toolbar and when you pick a icon from the desktop I want it to hide the icon that is on the desktop while the toolbar is running. Does anyone know how to make the icon hide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skitty Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 (edited) hi everybody.Iam is newbie, from vietnames. I wan hidden file with autoit. Plese help me code. Thanks I don't think people like it when you attempt to hide stuff on their PC. That only works in XP not Windows 7 I'm trying to find a way to do it in Windows7I'm creating a floating toolbar and when you pick a icon from the desktop I want it to hide the icon that is on the desktop while the toolbar is running. Does anyone know how to make the icon hide. I think it does, you probably just disabled hidden files on your machine some time ago and forgot, or you didn't add the attribute "S".

Mikeman27294 Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 I don't think people like it when you attempt to hide stuff on their PC.Hehe... Right click on desktop, View > Show Desktop Icons Anyway... if +H doesnt work for you, the chances are that you have somehow changed that (But I dont think that's even posible), or something is wrong with your computer.

What do you mean about "S" attribute I hide the icon with thisGlobal $1Icon = FileReadLine($vfile, 2)FileSetAttrib($1Icon, "+H", 1)RefreshDesktop() I show the icon with thisGlobal $1Icon = FileReadLine($vfile, 2)FileSetAttrib($1Icon, "-H", 1)RefreshDesktop() This works perfect on XP Pro and does not work on Windows7I have Windows 7 Ultimate32bit or x86 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FileSetAttrib($1Icon, "+HS", 1) Scratch that, I was totally wrong and remembering things incorrectly, I believe the reason it might not be working for you is because you or some one has messed with the control panels "Folder options" and disabled hidden files, check those settings. Check the "Hide protected operating system files" and "Show hidden files and folders" options under "Folder Options". Edit: I'm interested, why are you choosing to hide a desktop icon instead of using a nifty tray menu icon instead? That way you can use different colored icons like a green and red one that can be changed to signify something? Using that your method is not common since most people disable hidden files and folders altogether, even though it says that it is recommended to keep these files hidden, I would not recommend it at all since malicious code use these tactics to hide unwanted files.

You are correct the show hidden files was checked but I would had thought that would not matter, that is wierd. I had the same check in XP but everything worked correctly. Windows7 is a beast all on its own. Thanks for the help Is there anyway to make autoit check to see if the show hidden files is checked and If so uncheck it and check the Don't show hidden files. In the back ground not mouse move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FaridAgl Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 (edited) Why? cute question!i think it's possible to use command line and you can even hide that file as a system file. i never tried it.

Func RefreshDesktop()ControlSend('Program Manager', '', '', '{F5}')EndFunc Oh, cool. FYI, I think UDF is an acronym for "User Defined Function(s)" so I think it would be considered a udf.

I don't think it's a good idea to insult someone who can ban you, it's a legit question in the aspect that the first post sounds like if the user has some kind of malicious intention.

Jos I agree with Jos 100%. It never hurts to ask. But as for the first post it did not sound like his intrest was to learn. You must learn to walk before you can run. Take me for example, I have created all kinds of neat and usefull items that help me at work. I have created hyperlink GUIs and I have messed around with GDIplus a lot, so for someone like me to ask how to hide an icon from the desktop that will never be used as a hack of any sort is not far fetched.I mean, think of it this way. Why create a dock if it is not going to at lease hide the desktop icons that the dock has on it? THAT1ANONYMOUSEDUDEYou are correct it is a UDF. I was thinking of include when I answered the first time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The dock I have created is kind of like StarDock stuff. It is a floating dock that can be draged and I have it to install 2000 icons to choice from so that you can change any Icon that is on the dock. This is why I need to hide only the selected icons and then make them not hidden when the dock is closed. As for malicious code, LOLAnyone who learns Autoit can do malicious code if they really wanted to or at least I know I could if I wanted too. My question was not malicious at all because I clearly stated that the code I posted was working in XP at my work place but when I tried it at home on Windows7 it did not work correctly anymore.Thanks for all your help, once I finish the dock I will PM you guys that helped out with this, and I will send the download link to you.
