How to close a folder for viewing in Windows Explorer, but be able to write and read files in the folder through Python?

Question

Python

It is required to close the ability to edit files through Explorer for the current user, but be able to do this through Python for the current user. Is it possible?

Answer 1

It is possible if you run the script on behalf of a user who has write permissions to this file. And so no.

Answer 2

Write a driver for the file system. Run it and restrict access to the desired file or directory to everyone except the process with the python script. =)

Answer 3

you can’t do this with standard Windows tools, you can only manage permissions for users, and if you disable the view permission, then the recording will be guaranteed to be disabled. Set a password to access the folder.
