Har, Har, Har. . . Richmond fondly imagines that he can prevent pirating (this is especially goofy in Bulgaria which is world capital of pirate software): never mind, indulge me a moment, Please.
I had a 'daft' idea of popping a .txt document containing some daft text (e.g. Happy Christmas) inside an invisible folder on a CD which a standalone can reference, so . . . when yer goofy pirater copies the executable it won't work because it cannot find the invisible folder and reference the .txt file. This will at least stop people copying from a CD onto a local drive - it won't prevent CD-copying and making image files. HOWEVER - I don't know how to make folders invisible on Windows. NOR - for that matter, do I know if MC/RR can 'see' invisible folders and their contents. Would be grateful for any wise words (or foolish ones, for that matter) on both INVISIBLE FOLDERS ON WINDOWS and whether MC/RR can reference files inside invisible folders.
