    Hiding a folder

    What is the command for hiding a specific folder?

    An example on how it should work.

    -> i run the program
    -> it automatically hides C:/Program files/something

    Basically I don't need to unreveal it ever again, so there is no need for an "unreveal" -function.

    The main reason for this program is to hide a folder so that whatever files in that folder cannot be opened. A friend of mine downloaded something and now there's a folder in the Program files that cannot be deleted, for "a program running cannot be deleted". Also tried to delete this folder in failsafe mode, -> no luck. Also tried to deactivate the program from running by trying to delete it from the taskmanager, yet "You don't have root-authorization.", which I do. Tried all kinds of tricks yet with no result. So I tried with a trial "Hide folder" -software to hide it and prevent it from ever running again, and it worked. Well, I'd be satisfied yet it's a trial, so I need a freeware, and I'd rather learn some C++ at the same, so hence I'd make the program myself with your assistance.
