How to make executable folder

Question

I want to make an app that can be easily transported and used without any intallation required. Is there any way to make folder execute some script when opened?

Answer 1

Windows doesn't offer that functionality because it's unsafe and really dumb.

There's a possibility to make a program running in the background, reading the state of the explorer.exe process, checking if a certain folder is open and run some code once. That'd be extremely hard to do and would most likely get picked up by AV's.

So no, don't do that. It's a bad idea anyway
