Create dos directory that win can't see

I beleive the command is:

attrib +h "Directory name"

Or you can just right-click on the folder in Explorer, and choose Hidden at the bottom. Make sure that your Explorer preferences are set that you can't see Hidden and system files.

**By Explorer, I mean Windows Explorer**

I think you are referring to the reserved words in Windows.
If you make a directory called COM, that will not show up in Windows Explorer. LPT1 is another one.

this is the type of thing that people who hijack FTP servers do, so be careful with this!

Are you trying to set up a dual boot system so that the DOS directory is completely hidden when you start Windows? If so there are numerous roducts that will do this for you, such as PQBoot from PowerQuest.

My Solution:

When i am creating a folder that Windows Can't open, only on dos you access. First in creating a folder in DOS we used the command

C:\>md foldername

and this will create a folder name foldername. but this can access by the windows.

to make Windows can't access it, try to put a ASCII CODE 255 at the folder name means that,
When you type the md command then space, then press Alt+255 this equivalent to space. Then add some more text.

C:\>md (Alt+255)(Alt+255)flaire
this will create a folder

C:\__flaire

where underscore is appeare as space at the command prompt and in windows it will appear undescore. and it can't access.

To go to that folder

C:\>cd (Alt+255)(Alt+255)flaire

that's it.

Not only ASCII CODE 255 you can also you other CODE. To find this refer to ASCII Charts.
