Kronitron Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 I found a batch file online that I'd like to turn it into an .exe file though AutoIT. I've done tons of research and tried many things, but I just don't have the coding know-how to pull it off. Can anyone do it for me? Or at least point me in the right direction? Here it is: cls @ECHO OFF title Folder Private if EXIST "HTG Locker" goto UNLOCK if NOT EXIST Private goto MDLOCKER :CONFIRM echo Are you sure you want to lock the folder(Y/N) set/p "cho=>" if %cho%==Y goto LOCK if %cho%==y goto LOCK if %cho%==n goto END if %cho%==N goto END echo Invalid choice. goto CONFIRM :LOCK ren Private "HTG Locker" attrib +h +s "HTG Locker" echo Folder locked goto End :UNLOCK echo Enter password to unlock folder set/p "pass=>" if NOT %pass%== PASSWORD_GOES_HERE goto FAIL attrib -h -s "HTG Locker" ren "HTG Locker" Private echo Folder Unlocked successfully goto End :FAIL echo Invalid password goto end :MDLOCKER md Private echo Private created successfully goto End :End [post='1192322']Detect and Switch Monitor Orientation[/post] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustSomeone Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 First of all, wellcome to the AutoIT forums Do you want to run it via command prompt or completly migrate it to autoit ? Did you coded something so far , and if yes may we see your progress? Also, personal opinion is that using +h +s as attribute in order to "hide" it is not secure at all. In the autoit help file you will find everything required to migrate this to autoit, post some code and i will be glad to help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators JLogan3o13 Posted August 18, 2014 Moderators Share Posted August 18, 2014 Hi, Kronitron, welcome to the forum. Please note that we operate under the "teach a man to fish" motto, rather than spoon-feeding code. Below are some suggestions to get you started. Why don't you try your hand at beginning the code, then post what you have here (even if it isn't working)? We'll be happy to help you refine it. title Folder Private - Look at WinSetTitle in the help file If EXIST "HTG Locker"... - Look at FileExists in the help file goto UNLOCK - There is no GOTO in AutoIt (Thank God), look at the Function reference in the help file echo...Look at MsgBox in the help file The MsgBox section of the help file will also show you how to call a function based on the response.

Kronitron Posted August 18, 2014 Author Share Posted August 18, 2014 Hi guys, Thanks for the responses. I decided to use true crypt instead of going through AutoIT. I didn't want to because truecrypt has been discontinued, but it serves my purposes well enough. -Enjoy [post='1192322']Detect and Switch Monitor Orientation[/post] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrewManNH Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Anything would be better than that batch file, all that batch file does is add the hidden and system attributes to a folder, there's absolutely no security in it at all. If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.Give a programmer the correct code and he can do his work for a day.

Kronitron Posted August 18, 2014 Author Share Posted August 18, 2014 I know it isn't secure, but I wasn't really trying to secure it. There were some files I wanted to keep in a particular folder but out of my wife's hands. Nothing bad, just videos of some friends she despises. She wouldn't even be able to begin to figure out how to get into the folder. I just needed the guise of security, but true crypt was simpler.
