Hiding batch files

Capt'n Midnight · 2005-10-10 18:42:03

I want to setup some batch files so users can run them from a shortcut, but can't read the contents of the file. Plan B would be to compile the files - any good batch file compilers out there ?

@echo off will hide what the script is doing, not sure of a way if they open it in notepad , but you could make it read only.

On NTFS, deny everything apart from "Traverse Folder / Execute File" permissions to the appropriate user group, along with @echo off.
