I want to be able to set permissions on a file so that the user can
execute it but not open and read it, its a batch file. Is this
possible, ive tried just giving execute, and its not working, im
guessing because they cant read it. Any idea would be great

If user needs to execute the file then he will need a read permission which
of course means that he can always look in the file.

There are few options what you can do. First one is to write a program and
compile it. This will usually hide information from users quite well.

Another is to use tool like this

What are you trying to do? Maybe there are some other ways of doing it.
