lock process

[syko]

I was wondering there are some processes like antivirus, and games, that are protected.

they say they are ran by system and I do not have permission to stop.

How I make this, so run by system and they can not kill.

I want to try to make compressor and not let them stop it so not to corrupt files.

compressor for what?

[Authenticity]

I think you're talking about critical processes which you can't terminate these processes. For example I've got some system marked processes like AV's or MS's that I can terminate but I can't terminate the "System Idle Process". Making process as critical one is not a trivial task, otherwise, malicious viruses would have a easy time exploiting it.

i make compressor to make all files smaller.

[Jos]

You mean you want to rewrite the folder compression standardly available in Windows?

Sound pretty dangerous to me .......

[syko]

i want to have two option, one for all files on system, this where it compress every file then decompress when the file is needed, option two is to compress single files or many files into package like .zip =]

also yes i want critical, so this way files can not be corrupt when compressing or decompressing.

Sorry to scatter your dream but honestly use the include windows option and forget about doing this in AutoIt3.

windows have very poor compression!

I am sure you do better ....some day..

[syko]

i must be sure that with proper code even autoit could further compress the files.

perhaps by using the windows compression first then further compressing with autoit?

I can tell by your choice or language and last post that your knowledge of compression is very limited. AutoIt is not fast enough to serve as a compression tool and compressing compressed files is just a waste of time and electricity. Use a tool like 7zip or something - something written by people who know what they are doing.

I do not believe you will be able to write a "on the fly" compression tool that will still allow users to use the file while the compression is done.

Even writing a stand alone compression tool would take you years to reach the level of winzip which i believe is incorporated into Windows these days.

And also please do not double post. Thank you.

I think maybe this could happen in this order

analyze file > find patterns of similar data largest to smallest > replace patterns largest to smallest with predefined characters from an array.

this way any number of similar characters from 2 to say 200 could be moved down to 1 reducing the file size.

this would be done dynamically so each file would be best compressed.

this is how I find logical that a file would be compressed, please explain the logic if this is wrong.

that was not double past, this was ask for critical process the other asks for help with the compression.

In this thread. Double post.

Like I said, you don't know the first thing about compression. This is well beyond your current abilities.
