I have been programing a batch file for a folder i wuold like to protect. But The batch script will not work no matter how hard i try. I'm not too familiar with the set command and believe this is where i am going wrong. I would appreiciate help with this. And if anyone has recommended sources i would find this hand. Here is what i have so far. I have replaced the file route and passord this is not the programming error: @echo off title Open File Echo Please enter password set/p "pass=>" if %pass%=="my password" goto passed if NOT %pass%=="my password" goto FAIL :passed start c:\WINDOWS\"foldername" goto :end :FAIL Echo Incorrect Login pause goto :end :end exit Thanks in adveanced.
SET with the prompt option works like this: Code: C:> SET /P myvar="Enter password: " Enter password: abcdef C:> SET myvar myvar=abcdef To get help for SET, use HELP SET. (Or "HELP SET > set.txt" and read it in notepad.) HELP by itself lists all commands. Google "windows batch files" for tutorials.
