Everyone knows that for all our basic or ordinary requirements regarding computer software, we use .EXE file (LIKE : SETUP.EXE).
Because you knows that .EXE is a Executable file and can run a code.
But can you know that .TXT (notepad file) can also work as .EXE file.
Don't worry, if you don't know than....
This post will teach you how to make a .TXT Executable that can run any code you want..
STEP1
download TXT Icon pack: http://planet.nana.co.il/progroup/icon_txt.zip
The pack comes with a 32bit & 16bit icons.
STEP2
Open a new file, Right click - New - Shortcut
Type the location of the item:
"X:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe /c file.txt" ("X"=Driver)and name it "readme.txt"
STEP3
After creating the readme.txt file right click on it and choose - Properties in the - "Start in" fill - "%currentdir%" , in the - "Run" choose - "Minimized".
Then change the icon with one of the TXT icons from the pack by right clicking the readme.txt file then - Properties - Change Icon...
STEP4
In order to execute a file you need one..
just change your Server/Virus extantion to .TXT and name it - "file.txt"
Now you have a .TXT Shortcut and .TXT Executable, when opening the txt shortcut it opens a command -
"C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe /c test.txt"that executes the file you want.
STEP5
Now the readme.txt executes a command window, in order to hide it Right click on the "readme.txt" and choose - Properties - Layout and reduced the size on the window to height=1 and width=1.
Now change the window position to height=999 and width=999.
Now you got a .TXT Executable! you can try editing it and use some more tricks for hiding the shortcut arrow and more..
