    Use SetAttr
    Code:
    SetAttr "MyFile", vbHidden

    Use some API

    Code:
    '//Declarations
Public Declare Function SetFileAttributes Lib "kernel32.dll" Alias "SetFileAttributesA" (ByVal lpFileName As String, ByVal dwFileAttributes As Long) As Long
Public Const FILE_ATTRIBUTE_HIDDEN = &H2

'//Set the attribute
SetFileAttributes stPathName, FILE_ATTRIBUTE_HIDDEN

    After you do either Megatron or Qwerty method, go to Window Explorer and View/Folder Options/the View tab/click on the option button "Do not show hidden or system files"
