Question: i need a software for hiding files(win xp) which does not explicitly display that such a software is installed It should not be known easily that such a software is installed. Or it should be possible to enable it by hotkeys which can be decided by us

Answer: start>settings>control panel>click "folder options">click "view" tab>check "do not show hidden files and folders"\n\nright click on the folder you want hidden>go to properties and check "hidden".\nFolder should then disappear\n\nIf it is there but faded\nthen you have "show hidden files folders" checked in folder options.
