How to mark a folder as system folder

Sathish · 28-09-2008, 07:21 AM

Hi to all.
anybody have an idea about how to mark a folder as systemn folder so that it will be hide automatically while "hide sysem file' option selected in Folder Option..

Well, why not make it a hidden folder and uncheck "Show hidden files and folder"?

bcoz like in a huge user base(newbies) they will probably know about how to hide and unhide folders in general..
when a folders would be hide as system folders, they will forget to uncheck " hide system folder" checkbox..

you have to do this from command prompt......

use this command

Code:

attrib +s +h <path\directory name> /s /d

suppose you have a dir in c: named Test

then

C:\> attrib +s +h Test /s /d
