Royzer Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 (edited) Hi. I am very new to AutoIt. I have password protected a script but I noticed that if I right click on the icon the menu gives me the Edit option, which would reveals the part of the script that contains the password to execute the script. Is there any way to password protect the ability to view/edit a script? Thanks! Edited March 16, 2012 by Royzer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DW1 Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Compile the au3 to an exe? Pretty sure you are seeing "edit" because it's an au3 file and you have scite installed. AutoIt3 Online Help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royzer Posted March 16, 2012 Author Share Posted March 16, 2012 Thanks, Unbalanced. That makes sense. Anyone who doesn't have scite wouldn't have the edit option on their menu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Developers Jos Posted March 16, 2012 Developers Share Posted March 16, 2012 Anyone who doesn't have scite wouldn't have the edit option on their menu.That should be: Everybody that doesn't have AutoIt3 installed will not be able to run it unless you compile it and distribute the exe.

spudw2k Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 (edited) None-the-less, do not embed cleartext passwords in a script. Even if compiled (wrapped into exe) the password can be retrieved.
