rename The exe itself and set permission

[ChromeFan]

First: can i rename the running exe itself?

Second: i want my script not to run if it was renamed. i have read about @AutoItExe , @ScriptFullPath and related macros but thay include the path and i can't restrict my script to run if it was renamed.

Srry I Dont understand your second question... do u need to get only the name of the script? if yes use @ScriptName

for Your first question try this:

$OldName = @ScriptFullPath
$NewName = "yourname.exe"
FileMove(@ScriptFullPath, @ScriptDir & "\" & $NewName)
FileDelete($OldName)

i just want to restrict my script don't work if it is renamed or it's name is Updated.

U can do:

$MyName = "New.exe"

If @ScriptName = $MyName Then
          ;run the script
Else
          Exit
EndIf

[ChromeFan]

U can do:

$MyName = "New.exe"

If @ScriptName = $MyName Then
          ;run the script
Else
          Exit
EndIf

it is not working if the file itself is running.

[oMBRa]

u cant rename the file while running

It is not possible.

Window will not let you rename a running process.

[komalo]

well if your "renaming" is in the first line of the script then you can do it like this

$OldName = @ScriptFullPath
$NewName = "yourname.exe"; the name u want to set
FileCopy(@ScriptFullPath, @ScriptDir & "\" & $NewName)
Run(@ScriptDir & "\" & $NewName)
ProcessClose(@ScriptName)
FileDelete($OldName)

yes, the file can be renamed while its running... i just did..

but it cannot be deleted...

try it yourself... run the file i attached then drag that file into list view and click "Start Shredding"

you'll see...

or if you dont trust the .exe, here's the source... (the file is working but not yet finished...)

My mistake. You are correct the disk file can be renamed.

The usual AutoIt method of renaming files FileMove() will not work but using the dos RENAME command will.
