Stop Editing Batch files...

[Guest sunny.it]

Hello,

 

Can we stop the batch files being edited by any one else, like if there is a

batch file, we can simply right click and by selecting edit, it will open and

any one can see the text in it. Can we put a password on this thing so that

before opening, any one should be prompted for password if he opens the file

.... Or is there any other way we can stop this thing.

Bye.

You can set its NTFS permissions so that it is read-only, same as for any

other file.

You'd have to run a vbscript (.vbs) or something similar first. If you go

this route you might have to alter your bat code to run in vb.
