hiding folder and/or partition

You can do it. DOS 6.22 is one of my favorite OSs but it does have certain limitations. You can however, hide files by giving them the -h attribute. Hiding a partition, however, will hide it from you, also.

im not sure if you can hide a folder but try changing the attribute to +h. Also, if you want someone out of your folder, you could add the alt-255 trick. Simply move (rename) the folder into something like: move folder1 folder1[Alt-255].[Alt-255]. Alt-255 is a blank space and if you check out the dir listing, you cannot guess if there is an Alt-255 in there. So if i type cd folder1, it will get an error. the correct way is cd folder1[alt-255].[alt-255]. You can also do this with files.

I think the easiest way to hide a partition is to format it in NTFS :) the only way to access that is to boot in win2k or winnt. ntfs cannot be accessed in DOS6.2

formatting/writing in winnt/2k and using remaining space on a win9x/me-machine? does one see that there is used space left on that machine. is there a trick to see of there could be something?

My favorite trick was to use a batch file and rename the folder into the hexadecimal naming scheme, can not use the text format to access it but can have a batch file to access the folder. This hides it in plain sight, you can see it but can not get there from here !

Works great for the only folder on a single drive.

with this answer i enter the strange ratingsystem-precedure...
