Hey.
i was wondering how i can hide files and folders in win xp?
when i mean hide i mean so they are not seen by the windows explorer.....
any ideas?
thx

Here's a hint. Put something really complex, such as "hiding folders from explorer" in you favorite search engine. Although I only got 22,100 hits, you might get more or less.

How about your start there and do some of the work to solve your own problem.

Regards,

you can hook NtQueryDirectoryFile to manipulate the results of FileFind* api-calls

in ring0, as always

"hiding folders from explorer" gave back nothing.
If you remove the quotation marks (you need to indicate these type of things you will get much better results.
I got 22,300
Of course you only need look at the first 5 to get an answer that seems reasonable.

True. I forgot to add my usual statement to that of: (without the quotes).

Hi,
I searched but all of the google top results suggest program and not a programming technique.
thanks

So did that not suggest to you the possibility of downloading one of the programs which does the "hiding' and disassemble it and see how "it" does the process? Hum?? Or did you want someone to do the work for you and give you ready made code? Or course, if you look down below the top level search results, you would probably find that as well.
