.bat to .exe?

[Gweedo]

Is there a way to convert a .bat file to .exe so that people can't view or fiddle with the code inside?

I don't think you can.

Not without losing speed and functionality.

Here you go

don't forget to read the readme. It doesn't 'echo' properly. but it works.

I've tried that and it gives me a .com file that doesn't work.

You want to compile a batch file so people can't see what programs you're launching? :huh:

How would I go about that?

Sometimes I make mean little things that include passwords to my friends computers and sometimes other people read them and just might figure out that there are passwords there. I'm a little mischevious but I'm not that mean. Mainly I just don't want people to edit them sometimes.

Encryption, e-n-c-r-y-p-t-i-o-n. Does this sound familiar?

I don't know of a way you can, though you can create an encoded VB script file (.vbe). Don't ask me how though, I just know they aren't plaintext files. Do some research if you're interested (Y)

first, you learn the language. then you write your programs in the language. :)

That's kinda what I figured... Sounds like too much work.
