Hello again :) I just looked abit at mkdir and md, none of them seem to have hidden params (i assume you mean the normal hidden attribute?) There might be unusual commands to do that though, otherwise you might be able to use cscript from cmd. Maybe something like this[^] If you dont want to do that, just create a C++ program which you call from cmd which does the work for you... :)

Hi, the ATTRIB command is used to set or clear file/dir attributes, "hidden" is one of them. :)

To make folder password protected, it seems u may need to write low level driver. Not sure. I also wanna do the same.

I do not think we need to write any program. I guess there is some command in ms dos to perform this task. My friend did that way back long but he also has no idea about it now.

ATTRIB has been around since the days of DOS 2.0 THere is no command to "password protect" a folder. None of the file systems Windows supports offers this kind of functionality. It is possible, however, to write a driver that creates a file and treats it like an extension to the file system. If you're comfortable with C++ and writing drivers for Windows, great, have a nice time. If not, you've jumped into the ocean without knowing how to swim.

So, did you get your answer? If you have not. The command is ATTRIB :)
