    Resolved [RESOLVED] Hide a Folder

    Hi,
    I have hunted high and low for a method of hideing a folder un windows and have had no luck, so My question is there a way to hide a folder , I do not mean by using setting Attributes on the folder such as System and also not by using a clsid KEY, Bascily I need to know the method to hide it so it can not even be seen under dos by typeing dir /a /w like in most shareware ones you can see that all they have done is set file Attributes.

    PS I am not looking for an app to do this but some code.

    any info whould be very helpfull

    Thanks.

    I dont believe you can hid a file from DOS nor do I see a need to. What are you trying to do? Maybe there is a better solution.
