    File properties?

    I need some advice. Im working on a program and i have multiple files that are to be loaded onto the users system in addition to the program. They are simple .txt files but i want to either be able to set the files for read only or hide them from the user all togther. The java.io.File class has methods to test wether
    the file is hidden or if you can read or write to it but i see no methods to set the file properties. Any ideas guys? Thanks.

    There is the setReadOnly() method of the File class, but I don't know about hides files.

    That would work but im not sure if that would be safe to use since im pretty sure the user could just change read only at any time. Ill have to find an alternate way. Thanks. crptc
