Hi all

you know that we use the command REG QUERY to get the data of a value in the registry

How can I make a variable take the data of a value OR value under a key as a value of it

Thanks if you want a single key to variable try this:

Code: [Select]@echo off
Reg Query <the key name> > <temporary file>
set /p return=<<same temporary file>

example:
@echo off
reg query EXAMPLEKEY > return.tmp
set /p return=
Hope this helps

This is the contene of my BATCH file

it is simple locker of files

so user can lock his files by a password

you can read it in know how it doesn,t work ( when it unlocks the folder

P.S : I want to convert it to exe file

Code: [Select]cls
@ECHO OFF

echo Are you sure you want to Lock the folder (Y/N)

thank you
i can tell you that the variables that HOLD the password are deleted after the batch program closes. this happens to all variables in batch.

try storing the password in a registry key.

and for turning this into a EXE, try here: http://www.download.com/Bat-To-Exe-Converter/3000-2069_4-10555897.htmlhello

I have bat to exe converter

*I stored the password in reg key, please write here the complete code

Thank you could just use REG Query again to load up the password into a variable once the batch program starts..like i showed you before.this is a script i wrote few months ago when i learn "reg query". this will set the autorun status of drive type.
autorun.bat purpose: example when you plug in a USB flashdisk, if autorun for removable is on, then it will automatically execute the "autorun.inf" in the flashdisk. if flashdisk contain virus, then your computer will be infected.

you can learn how to read and write to registry from below batch, you are free to modify and use it to suit your need.

Code: [Select]::AutoRun.bat DriveType as %1 [On|Off as %2]
@echo off&setlocal enabledelayedexpansion

set 0=BACKUPREG
set 1=UNKNOWNDRIVE
set 2=NOROOTDIR
