No, it's not. Why would I put compress something to RAR, if you use the folder or file frequently a password would be roadkill.
it doesn't hide it. anybody can access it. a quick dir /a will reveal the files, and changing a few options in windows explorer will allow them to be displayed there, too.
you also missed my previous point. If somebody can easily create folders in windows explorer or the command prompt, why add the additional complication of a clunky batch program to do this creation? RD is a wrapper to the OS function to remove directories which in and of itself is a paradigm exposed by the filesystem and subsequently stored on disk as a series of bytes. There are only so many levels of indirection before further abstraction becomes ridiculously unnecessary.
As the big C has told you, acting like you know everything doesn't make it true, and this is directly related to your attitude towards perfectly valid suggestions. Calling them "stupid" and so forth doesn't instantly make your silly quests to wrap simple DOS functions in pages and pages of prompts and added features that really just add unnecessary bloat to the basic, simple, and yet oh so powerful commands. It's also somewhat silly to hint at the suggestion of knowing what I think. It is, and still is one the more naive things I've seen on this forum. Security by obscurity is just foolishness- If you want to prevent something from getting into the hands of others, it needs to be heavily protected via passwords and the like, hiding the files will simply draw attention to them by making it obvious that an attempt was made to keep the files out of the view of the casual user.
Besides, what would you need to hide anyway? (which also begs the question of where this fork of the discussion came from)
EDIT:
password protected RAR files are the best way to store goat porn.
