I am starting to work on a batch file that has to selfexecute. I am unsure of how to do this. The batch file that needs to selfexecute is a password protocol that protects my files in command prompt. The protocol works fine, it's just I need it to selfexecute when someone attempts to access it from command prompt. I am on windows xp right now, and I also have choice. This is what the security.bat looks like:
(The please copy and paste this. For Stewart the password is cakewalks. For tommy the password is ryalla. PLEASE!!! send reply with the entire source. It looks funny, but if you run it as is it looks perfectly normal)
