Meerecat Posted June 11, 2011 Posted June 11, 2011 (edited) Hello I'm new to AutoIT. Currently working on an Encryption program, but thought I would post my first attempt here. It's basically a program to create a secure folder on your computer. Any and all feedback welcome. Thanks Lee Edited June 12, 2011 by Meerecat Lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part.-The biggest idiot can ask questions the smartest man cannot answer.

Before I explain my logic, please bear in mind this was my first proper script and I have no programming experience. The first version of the script didn't encrypt the password file. Although it is buried in the App Data directory, it was still only a plain text ini file. This kind of made the program pointless. So I added the encryption, but found each time the script tried to run it asked for a new password because it couldn't read the encrypted file.So the point of the sleep is to give the ini file containing the password time to decrypt. Does that make sense?I'm sure there are a million better ways of doing this, but I'm still a beginner Lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part.-The biggest idiot can ask questions the smartest man cannot answer.
guinness Posted June 11, 2011 Posted June 11, 2011 (edited) I'm still new at this as well, more often then not I have MrCreatoR pointing out how I could improve, which has always been valuable. The thing is _Crypt_EncryptFile will complete first so Sleep is only useful for the FileDelete,, but I think 3 seconds is a little long. So as a safety measure why not use something like this? Wait for the file to exist. Func _Encrypt() _Crypt_EncryptFile($INI_PASSWORD, $INI_PASSWORD_ENCRYPT, 'Password', $CALG_RC4) While FileExists($INI_PASSWORD) = 0 Sleep(10) ; Smallest Sleep you can have.

Meerecat Posted June 11, 2011 Author Posted June 11, 2011 Thanks. I like that. I use this encrypted ini file function in a couple of other projects I'm working on so can include this there as well Thanks again, and if you have any other suggestions feel free to yell Lack of planning on your part does not constitute an emergency on my part.-The biggest idiot can ask questions the smartest man cannot answer.
Digisoul Posted June 12, 2011 Posted June 12, 2011 Nice try dear.Here is a tip, instead of changing the ACL (because it takes 20 secs to reset manually), try to open the handle of directory, with no share. 73 108 111 118 101 65 117 116 111 105 116

nevodj Posted May 9, 2012 Posted May 9, 2012 you need to add /t to the cacls command to include subdirectories and files. You can still access the files through recent or filepaths. You could also edit the registry to remove access to the folder options tab in windows explorer, and the Security tab from the properties dialogue when you lock the folder, then show them again when you unlock.

gahhon Posted December 28, 2018 Posted December 28, 2018 Hi @Meerecat, I found some error regarding your folder lock script. I am still unable to view the hidden folder even thought I go enable it, which is great! Full protection folder. But If I at Window Explorer type out some files' name/folder name on Search Input Box. I am still able to view the contents of the folder. Please advise.
Borje Posted February 19, 2019 Posted February 19, 2019 Hello everybody ! Is that anyone that have worked more with this folder lock script? I have seen that the ini file is displayed when loading the script there password is saved.. And when close the script it changes from ini to crypt. Is that any way to have the script read the crypted file instead if the ini file ?
