The script creates the "super hidden" folder and connect it as a drive. This folder is invisible for Windows Explorer and the content can not be searched, archived and so on. By locking of the folder it is as the "Item of Control Panel" represented and is inaccessible for Windows Explorer.

Note that some other file managers and search engines can listen the content of this folder. It is only "super hidden" and not encrypted. With Linux Live CD or with BartPE you can find the folder and get full access.

Compile it with "quasi system" file name (svchost.exe or other) - it makes the process more "stealth" in the Process Manager (but not really invisible).

I would hate to see a program changing settings like the visibility of system files! I would see it as spyware...

...even if you ran a script to do it yourself... :?: :?

Really all RegWrite are not necessary. Only the first RegWrite is necessary only by first run. You can delete others and return old values.

I don't think, that to hide personal files is an espionage. I think, that it is realism.

; Don't use simple file sharing
RegWrite, REG_DWORD, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa, forceguest, 0

Does this affect all folders? If it does, is it possible for it to only affect one folder?

What I would like is to unshare a specific folder. Now I use net share, but is it possible to do that with a regwrite?

run, net share C:\Folder /delete, ,Hide UseErrorLevel

I don't know what's the meaning of the dos cmd subst for? It turn a folder to a drive. But I think it's not related to hide the folder.

 

After exe the subst cmd, the folder still there.
