How To Mark A Folder "system" Folder

[abhay 0]

hey guys how do i mark a folder as a "system folder"

reason

i want to hide a folder in my HDD but making it hidden is far too common for it if this one doesn't work i might have to go for "folder lock" but i think this one is a safer option i don't trust folderlock

so by marking it as system folder it wont show itself normally in the explorer while the "Hide Protected Operating System Folders" is checked

a help would be much appreciated

Did u try the attrib +s command?

I hvnt checked it but try it, Open DOS and give following command:

attrib +s folder_path

e.g.,

attrib +s d:\abhay
