almost no where is secure on windows, even hidden files aren't secure.
the best option?
#constant TRUE 0x001
#constant FALSE 0x000
if file exist("game.dat")=FALSE
cdir$ = get dir$()
set dir windir$
if file exist("gamefile")=FALSE
make directory "gamefile"
execute file "attrib.exe","gamefile +h +s",windir$,TRUE
endif
GameDir$ = windir$+"\gamefile\"
set dir cdir$
open to write 1,"game.dat"
lc = len(GameDir$)
for i=0 to lc-1
write byte 1,asc(right$(GameDir$,i))
next i
write byte 1,lc
close file 1
else
open to read 1,"game.dat"
gamefs = file size("game.dat")
gamefs = read byte from file("game.dat",gamefs-1)
for i=0 to gamefs-1
read byte 1,j
GameDir$ = GameDir$ + chr$(j)
next i
close file 1
endif
that way the user has to actually be know howto look for it to find it
