Hello,

Can we stop the batch files being edited by any one else, like if there is a
batch file, we can simply right click and by selecting edit, it will open and
any one can see the text in it. Can we put a password on this thing so that
before opening, any one should be prompted for password if he opens the file
.... Or is there any other way we can stop this thing.
Bye.

You can set its NTFS permissions so that it is read-only, same as for any
other file.

You'd have to run a vbscript (.vbs) or something similar first. If you go
this route you might have to alter your bat code to run in vb.
