Hi everybody!
I would to know if there is anyway to protect/hide partitions, folders/files or programs with autohokey? I have some friends who use my computer and even with the "users accounts" I wanna protect/hide several access. If nothing can be done with AHK, please give me some ideas (I already know TrueCrypt). Thank in advance!

Either encrypt the whole thing, or take it with you.

All other defences are useless, as all one needs to do is plug in a usb stick, and they have access to everything.

It all depends on how inexperienced your friends are

this is a windows question not ahk

do not use ahk for security its way to easy to kill
short answer is to only give one user access to some folder/partition and make your friends use a guest account

and ntfs must be your file system

Thx for replies!

I've coded this simple script to avoid for "non-admin" users to launch non wanted applications. I added it to autorun.

Code:
#NoTrayIcon
ProcessList =
(
Process1.exe
Process2.exe
...
ProcessN.exe
)

If A_IsAdmin
   ExitApp
Else
{
   
   Loop
   {
      Loop, parse, ProcessList, `n
      {
         Process, Exist, %A_LoopField%
         PID := ErrorLevel
         If PID
            Process, Close, %PID%
      }
      Sleep, 20
   }
}

!²::
ToolTip, This is the end!!!
Sleep, 1000
ExitApp
Return

It certainly functions, but I can go right into Task Manager to kill the process.

Lol!!!

- Guest account : OK!
- NTFS File system : OK!
- One user access to some folder/partition : I need the Strenght to be with me. Please, give me another chance and some of your knowledge!
- Google : OK(but sometimes!)

UPDATED SCRIPT:
Code:
#NoTrayIcon
ProcessList =
(
AutoHotkey.exe
cmd.exe
notepad.exe
regedit.exe
SciTELaunch.exe
taskmgr.exe
)

If A_IsAdmin
   ExitApp
Else
{
   
   Loop
   {
      Loop, parse, ProcessList, `n
      {
         Process, Exist, %A_LoopField%
         PID := ErrorLevel
         If PID
            Process, Close, %PID%
      }
      Sleep, 20
   }
}

#r::
Return

!²::
If not A_IsAdmin
   Return
ToolTip, This is the end!!!
Sleep, 1000
ExitApp
Return

@tank: I did'nt find "Security" in folder's properties because I'm on XP Home. I have to be in "Safe Mode" with Admin account to do these things. Thx for the reply and especially for your patience!

...I don't think I read this whole thread, but you deny notepad.exe to users? Why? Except for SciTELaunch.exe, the rest of the "blocked" progs are the ones I use most...I would never be able to function or do anything on your locked-down comp...except try to bypass the block, so I can run my notepad!...& I think I already know a way...

Also, if !A_IsAdmin, they can't do much damage with those commands anyway...
