Make a file hidden from a batch script

Question

Does anyone know how I can use the batch code to hide a file? This is my code:

@echo off
start ChromePass.exe /stext ChromePass.txt
start iepv.exe /stext iepv.tx         


        

Answer 1

You can use attrib

attrib WebBrowserPassView.txt +h

+h means add the hidden attribute to the file. -h would remove it.

You should consider moving these files to a secure location. Security through obscurity is not advised since we are dealing with passwords.
