Hi,

Hey if you wanna hide something as a System File then here's how....

go to the command prompt ( Start ------> Run -----------> Cmd )

then type attrib +s +h c:\wannahidethis

+s --------> hide file or folder as System File ( You can't uncheck the hidden in properties but you can use the same command prompt code to unhide ( see bottom) )

+h----------> to make file hidden

+r ---------> to make the file read only

Systex is like this

ATTRIB [+R] [+H] [+S] [Drive] : [Path] [File Name]

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

to get it back i mean the hidden thing to shown

Attrib -s -h c:\path


+ will add the attribute and the - will remove them

enjoy

hey i found out how,

but if there some System Folders like " System Volume Information" , " RECYCLER "..ect ... i mean by default they are hidden , so
they also will be shown but except " System Volume Information " so you have to hidden those default folders my menually ( Properties -------- > Hidden ) there will be only 2 or 3 files ok..

so here's how.

type attrib -s -h Drive:\*.* /s /d

so the all the folders and the files on that perticular drive will be shown
