RE: to protect to Folder go to DOS Prompt then select the directory where the folder is like my folder is in D partition and named local
d:\
D:\attrib local +h +s

you will se your folder is hidden but it will be not show in show hidden files option..

no if you want to see your folder do the same process but put -h -s like

d:\
D:\attrib local -h -s
(REMEMBER IT IS NOT A HIDDEN OPTION)

Remember me in your prayers
