Hi,

Can anyone help me. I don't want others to see my database file(mdb) and the
path file(txt).

Is it possible to create a reg file and run it once on the system and those
two files .mdb and .txt files in my folder will never be seen by the user
but can be accessed by the program.

Looking forward to help.
Regards,
Ravi

I'm not really sure what you are tryihg to accomplish, but you can keep users
from tampering with your mdb by changing the extension, e.g. mdc or anything
you want and setting a password on the database. You can change the
extension on the txt files too so that it doesn't easily open with a text
editor but to keep users out of it you would have to encrypt it.

Change the file attribute to hidden and enable the Group Policy setting
that prevents access to system/hidden files (Folder Options Policy).
