Hidden files

Did you try the SetFileAttributes() function?

Private Declare Function SetFileAttributes Lib "kernel32" Alias "SetFileAttributesA" (ByVal lpFileName As String, ByVal dwFileAttributes As Long) As Long
Private Const FILE_ATTRIBUTE_HIDDEN = &H2
Dim ll_ret_val As Long
ll_ret_val = SetFileAttributes(file_name, FILE_ATTRIBUTE_HIDDEN)
