Just food for though (may be way off... in the middle of pulling the carbs off my bike), couldn't you run an app as a system ran service, and then have the system account lock down the permissions on a folder, meaning that only the system account can change the permissions back?

i don't know how to do it but i created a software which used this idea, create a desktop.ini file inside the folder with this

[.ShellClassInfo]

CLSID={645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E}

and set folder and it's attribs to System+Hidden, now create another exe to change it back using a password. by this method you can lock and unlock any folder (Not Really). remember to disable "Show System files" using registry.

and in autoit you can try a very easy way!

Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 2)
While 1
    If WinExists("My Folder Name") Then
        WinSetState("My Folder NAme", "", @SW_HIDE)
        MsgBox(0, "Folder locked", "Press ok to give the pass and enter into folder.")
; ask for the password here and set the window state again to @SW_SHOW
    EndIf
    Sleep(500)
WEnd

i know this is not a perfect way but i am just giving you the idea not a full working code!, i also want to know more about it. please let me know by PM if your problem got resolved 100%.

I found this http://forums.microsoft.com/SamVaad/ShowPo...6&SiteID=43. It is easy to create with AutoIt but isn't very good method.

have you tried this DOS command?

CACLS c:\program files\{whatever} /E /T /C /G "Domain Users":F

AutoIt Code

RunWait(@ComSpec & ' /c CACLS "c:\program files\{whatever}" /E /T /C /G "Domain Users":F','',@sw_hide)

Another One is

_RunDOS("cacls " & '"d:\" & @UserName' & " /T /G " & @UserName & ":F /G Admin:F")

for more information about these commands "Help"
