Can anyone please tell me how to 'hide' a program which should be executable through the autoexec.bat? 2. I just bought a program called "Mind Prober" from The Human Edge. I put it on my hard disk (copy a:*.* c:), but when I start this program from the hard disk, the program in the opening screen looks at the a: drive. Obviously it can't find it, and tells me that the program (on the hard disk) is an illegal copy. So I made another copy (from a: to b:) and stuck this copy into the a: drive with the same result. Now, my question is: Can anyone please tell me how to do this in basic? I'm not interested in unraveling this program, but I would like to use this routine in my own programs. THANKS!
