Hide your files with a simple popup menu and manage them.
You can open a hidden file(without unhiding it) or unhide a file.
A simple list to mange all the hidden hidden files.
Setup a password to add the security layer to prevent disclosure of important files.

HotKey:[Ctrl]+[RightClick]

Library used:
[Libcript.ahk]
used for encrypting the file list and password.

Code: https://github.com/KamalAwasthi/Hidden-Explorer

Now, no need to go for a long procedure to hide or unhide a file. :dance: :bravo:

When i choose to hide a file i sometimes get this:

That needs to not be so big that the bottom can't be seen. You may actually want to allow the user to resize, if for no other reason than the fact that it can't be closed with the red x or alt f4. i have to close popuptest.ahk. not sure why it does that because sometimes it doesn't.
When i try to unhide a file i get:

Code: Select all

Error at line 101.

Line Text: LC_CxE_Encrypt89(key, byref message)
Error: Duplicate function definition.

The program will exit.
Also, why do i have to copy to clipboard in order to hide something? Is that intended?

i like the concept though.

EDIT: Should probably find a way to protect "password.ka" so that someone doesn't come along, delete the file and set their own

Hmm! let me see the error you reported. Thanks for your comment.
Yes I get the full path of the file you select by copying the file and then reading it from the clipboard.
It is really a big mistake I did not think of the 'password.ka' to be deleted or modified, I will come up with a solution as soon as possible. or if you could help, it will be great!

I made some changes in the script and made 'password.ka' file hidden. I think It should fix the errors.
'password.ka' can not be seen by any one unless it is made unhidden. Though it is not a too secure way but it will prevent accidental or intentional deletion and reset of password.
