Changing a file size

[XxEvilxX]

changing a file size like if it 250KB i could or make it look like it only 50KB

Nope. Sorry. There are some things you just can't do. Even if you could, you wouldn't really want to. You could blatently lie on a single program by doing

Dim MySize
MySize = FileLen("TESTFILE") ' Returns file length (bytes).
Text1.Text = MySize / 10, where Text1.Text is the false file size. But you can't make it permanent.

XxEvilxX,

Have you looked into zipping the file?

All the best.

I came across a game once that came on CD, and the developers could clearly get it to fool Windows as one file was over 2GB!! (in DOS it registered as only 200 MB - must be able to fool Windows as CD's can only hold 650 MB (700 at a push!!) :)

Useful copy protection feature I think
