Does anyone know how to really hide files and directories in a Windows
OS - and I don't mean just changing the file property to "hidden". You
see - I have made an application that saves information to files but I
don't want these to be visible for the user when he checks "view
hidden files" in Explorer. I've seen some applications doing this so I
know it is possible.

Thanks
Thomas
