Batch file to encrypt connection string section

Many times I have to use SQL Authentication instead of Windows Aunthentication when developing ASP.NET web apps. To encrypt the connection string used you can use the following batch file to encrypt the connection string sections of any asp.net web app:

echo Please enter folder where webconfig is:
:input
set INPUT=
set  /P INPUT=Type input: %=%
if "%INPUT%"=="" goto input
echo Folder  where webconfig is: %INPUT%

aspnet_regiis.exe -pef  connectionStrings %INPUT%
pause

Make sure you have aspnet_regiis.exe's folder in your PATH environment variable.
