Is there a way that in a batch file script if you have a password you dont want people to see can you somehow mask it.

Thanks, Brent

Not really. Everyone can read the source of a batch file.
Best option is to convert the batch to an .exe file (google "bat2exe" or something).
This doesnt make it impossible to read the source, but at least much harder.

I tried that and it seems to work but I want to be able to run the batch file invisible or at least minimized and the start /min doest seem to work with exe's. Any ideas?

Thanks, Brent

With Bat2exe you can make the script run minimized (invisible). Read the faq

LOL bat2exe will only complie the most trial of BATs.

I think you'll need real code. Like BASIIC or c/c++.

=====================================
If at first you don't succeed, you're about average.

I have tried pretty much every free batch file compiler and there is always something that doesnt work on it that I need. I have a call file and i have my batch file. I put the batch file in a folder that has permissions on it so you cant view it. Thanks for all the help.
