create executable

[e2000era]

Does anyone happen to know how to create a executabel that would extract the files and folders in the specified location. For example, create/replace a test folder from the "c:\windows\system32\"

Thanks

Why would you want to mess with the system32 folder? What are you trying to do?

No --- I am trying to make a virus....

I just need to put a ini file into a directory where not people go everyday.. My program use that ini file to do different things.

Any help is appreciated.

I would avoid any systems folders. If you want to "hide" an .ini file, bury it in a deep folder structure that your program makes at install time.

Why not use the registry instead? Most users don't poke around in there and if they do then they have to find your section first

This is a good option if it is available. However, I've discovered that many companies lock the registry down. My company is completely moving away from using the registry for this reason and we are now saving user settings and preferences in backend DB tables.
