What's your problem? I try to be helpful, and what do I get for that? You call it useless and hurtful. I can understand if you don't find the advice very helpful if it's not exactly what you are looking for, but it's certainly not useless. If you find it hurtful, then it's certainly not my fault, and something that you have to work on yourself. If you can't even read well meaning advice without being hurt, you should definitely not be asking questions in a forum, but rather seek professional help.
Despite everything, the person most likely to be fooling you next is yourself.
Haven't you noticed a pattern yet? He writes these sob story posts after he receives answers he doesn't like! This is the second time. When does it get old? He posts absolute beginner-level posts, gets told to learn before he posts a few times, then he writes a sob story on how he's just trying to learn and English isn't his first language etc etc. All to start over the cycle of hand-holding for another 10 posts before he throws out another thread like the OP.

First, if you can't figure out how to write to a text file in the folder path THAT YOU ALREADY HAVE, then you really do need to pick up a beginners book on C# and work through it. This is not meant to be hurtful in any sense of the word. It really does show your lack of knowledge on how to do something so trivial and that you really do need to learn the basics. On top of that, I can't think of a single, good, supportable solution to block and unblock folders using batch files and because of that, I have to question your knowledge of Windows Security and NTFS.

Hi Dave, Ofcourse theres a brilliant and supported solution to block folders using batch files!!! Here's how: There are plenty of software which lock your folders, some are free, other costs a lot of money. Why you’ll waste time and money when you could do it with your notepad. * Consider you want to lock a folder named PICS in your D:\, whose path is D:\PICS * Now open the Notepad and type the following ren pics pics.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D} * Where pics is your folder name. Save the text file as loc.bat in the same drive. * Open another new notepad text file and type the following ren pics.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D} pics * Save the text file as key.bat in the same drive. Usage: * To lock the pics folder, simply click the loc.bat and it will transform into control panel icon which is inaccessible. * To unlock the folder click the key.bat file. Thus the folder will be unlocked and the contents are accessible. That’s all. Is that clear o you now! Cheers, Rajdeep.NET :zzz:

You still haven't explained your projects general purpose. Many of your threads constitute potential malware or other type of malicious bits and pieces, and people put pieces of a puzzle together. Furthermore, you've shown no effort to learn the language or at least the basics before you begin posting, most of the stuff you ask is covered in the MSDN documentation as extremely basic tasks, so it's apparent you haven't began searching the most common place for answers, nevermind extensive (or some would consider basic) searching of crawling through google. I still ask, what is the general purpose of your application, what does it do and why is it doing it? Why are you hiding console applications, copying applications and locking folders. What is the purpose?
Hi Eliotta, For your kind information, I am upto no malicious stuff. Rather, I am focusing all my attention towards the security angle, imlementing .NET. I need to block folders for security purposes and not for heuristic ones. If it would had been for me, then I would have never consulted you guys, since I am doing it by using a simple batch trick which I already posted as a reply to Dave Kreskowiak.... But this is for users, not just for me or you. Yeah I agree that replicating files and hiding console applications sounds malicious but I am just trying to test my software. Its almost done but, the only problem I am facing is in the question. I need to hide my console application, because it will take a lot of time to process and so I only wanted to avoid the console window for the users. Thats all.... Otherwise, I am not going for anything like the dotnut or the sharpie virus because I am just 16 now. And I am trying to focus entirely on development else huer. Cheers, Rajdeep.NET :(

My answer was not intended to be hurtful; if you took it that way then I apologise. I didn't realise that posting the name of a class would be offensive. However, you received the answer to the precise question you asked, which was (in my eyes): how do I save a .bat file to a given location? Anyway, to the point at hand:
Rajdeep.NET wrote:
I know that I have to use the StreamWriter method and create a text file, where I'll enter the required execution parametres and then convert it to .bat using the File.Move() method
Just to point out, the path of the file you pass to the StreamWriter constructor doesn't have have to be a text file. You could create "FilePath.bat" in situ, which would eliminate the need for File.Move This also goes a long way towards answering your full question. If you have the folder path from a DirectoryInfo instantiation, then passing this path to the StreamWriter(string) constructor will create the file in the given location. If you want the parent directory, then Path.GetDirectoryName can be used Incidentally, the phrase "location where the folder is saved" isn't strictly accurate. For the sake of learning, you could have typed "the folder's parent directory"
-
Your question is idiotic and lacks common sense.
Rajdeep.NET wrote:
I have to get the folder path using the DirectoryInfo[] method.
So you have the folder path.
Rajdeep.NET wrote:
But how will I generate a batch file (txt file renamed as .bat executable) in the location where the folder is saved?
You have the folder path and the new name of the file you are creating. And you're still asking how to save it in the folder! Hang on a second while I search for something on Google[^].... WOW! What a surprise! The first link tells me exactly how to do it!

Change the project properties for the exe to a Windows application. Then it won't show a console, and since your application doesn't show any windows (I hope) then it will just run in the background.

It hasn't really locked it. It has just made the file unusable in Window Explorer - You can still access the file via other routes.
