The file hide.exe is a component of the software created by HiddenSoft, which is AutoIt. AutoIt is a type of software for the automation of Windows GUI and general scripting of repetitive tasks. This program utilizes a combination of mouse movement, simulated keystrokes, and window or control manipulation, that are automated when they cannot depend on other languages, such as SendKeys or VBScript. These functions only work if all the components of the software are intact and running in the background. So, the file hide.exe, which is a core component, is important to remain installed and working on the computer system. Also, other modules associated with the program may call for the hide.exe file process in order to work. Once the software AutoIt is installed, the hide.exe file is also downloaded and usually found in folder C:\Program Files, if not in C:\Windows. Wherever it is located, the hide.exe file needs to be stored there to execute the application AutoIt.
