Creating a non-viewable File
-
Hello, I am wondering how it is possible to create a file on the System that can be accessed by some file API's, but yet it is not a hidden or System file. I use CrypKey for protecting software products and know that the product works by creating a foot print on a physical disk that indicates that at some time, a product was installed. I can look at a file monitor and see a particular file being opened, but it is not viewable as either hidden or System. Any thoughts here would be greatly appreciated. Best Regards,

I'm not sure, but I found one today while deleting all of my files on the ol' work PC that had an icon, but no filename! If you could duplicate that, then create a program icon that was all white and transparent, you'd be in!
