Creating hidden folders

Question

Is there any way that I can programmatically create (and I guess access) hidden folders on a storage device from within c#?

Answer 1

using System.IO;   string path = @"c:\folders\newfolder"; // or whatever  if (!Directory.Exists(path))  {  DirectoryInfo di = Directory.CreateDirectory(path);  di.Attributes = FileAttributes.Directory | FileAttributes.Hidden;  } 

Answer 2

Yes you can. Create the directory as normal then just set the attributes on it. E.g.

DirectoryInfo di = new DirectoryInfo(@"C:\SomeDirectory");  //See if directory has hidden flag, if not, make hidden if ((di.Attributes & FileAttributes.Hidden) != FileAttributes.Hidden) {         //Add Hidden flag          di.Attributes |= FileAttributes.Hidden;     }
