Forums Feature Suggestions 'run mirc.exe -p' ?

Don't know if this is possible but it would be possible neafty feature to have on mIRC. a "-p" or or however you do it when you can execute a file, supplied by a password. Example:


I don't know the proper way to do these types of switches when executing a file, would anyone else like to see this feature possibly added?

I would think the exe file you used MIRC.EXE as an example would need the code in it, to check its command line for those parameters and execute if the password matched. I have seen pre windows executable password wrappers, I used to use one on com files like FORMAT.

Now that i think about it, did you mean disabling RUN in the options but allow a password to bypass it? something like

/run -p [password] mirc.exe

?

I think he means have a password on mirc exe so you cant open it without that and then be able to pass the password to the exe via command line.

Well, Okay. Say you have a lock on mIRC so it asks for a password when you run the file. I was wanting to see if it would be a possible good idea so that when you run mirc (Say you run another "bot" mirc) and you don't wanna type in the password then, so you could supply a
-p [Password].
Maybe some of you will think "Why do you even have a password lock on it then? Well, some of us have other people that use the computer and we don't want them getting on mIRC!

Btw, I'm just using '/run' as an example.

um as a work around , you might be able to launch mirc with a specified ini file, as im pretty sure the password is just sitting in it, so you could make one that doesnt have one. (dont quote me on this I havent used the password feature ever, i just lock to pc by triggering the screen saver.

The password is stored in "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\mIRC\LockOptions" and/or "HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\mIRC\LockOptions".

my mistake, still not hard to bypass
