Jon, thanks for your response.

My original question was how to hide a directory. Since I can 
use File.SetAttributes to hide a file, I thought I could try 
Directory.SetAttributes too. But there is no such method, and 
I have no clue.

Fortunately, your response about the FileInfo Object hinted me 
that there should analogously exist a DirectoryInfo class, 
which I didn't know before. Now my question is solved.

Thanks,
Peter
