AutoHotkey Community

[clam]

I am wanting to password protect a folder on my usb drive. Is there a way to do this using autohotkey? I have to use a thumb drive to transport information to various computers and I dont want it to fall into the wrong hands.

I made a script that checks passwords but I cant figure out how to make it run in order to open the folder.

I started off thinking I could make it autorun but cant make a usb drive autorun a file.

Thanks for any ideas, help, or advice.

There are softwares for this, I wouldn't try to do this in AHK, even if possible (big, slow...).

I agree with PhiLo, I successfully encrypted files with a AHK script but the encryption was weak and took a very long time on any decent sized file. If someone wanted to it would be easy to crack the encryption.

P.S. If this information would be in a Office document such as word or excel there is a built in encryption you can turn on.
