WARNING : U CAN DO THIS ONLY IF YOU'RE AN ADMINISTRATOR. IT WORKS 100% ON WIN XP, AND I THINK IT SHOULD WORK ON WIN2000.

IF YOU WANT TO HIDE FILE/FOLDER IN WINDOWS 98 (EXAMPLE C:\SEXPIC) GO TO START-PROGRAMS-MSDOS AND :
1. GO TO THE FOLDER WHERE'S THE FILE YOU WANT TO HIDE (FROM THE EXAMPLE IT IS C:\ )
2. TYPE REN SEXPIC _WINFILES, EXCEPT WHERE THE _ IS YOU SHULD HOLD ALT AND ON THE NUMERIC KEYBOARD TYPE 255, LET GO OF ALT AND TYPE WINFILES (WINFILES IS AN EXAMPLE NAME, IT IS LESS SUSPICIOUS).
3. TO REVERSE THE PROCESS GO TO THE SAME FOLDER WHERE YOUR DISABLED FILE/FOLDER IS AND TYPE REN _WINFILES SEXPIC. EXPLANATION FOR TYPING THE _ SIGN IS THE SAME AS BEFORE.
