Change a folder Hidden attribute 1

[waytech2003]

Have searched for this but have not found a way for it to be done. I know I can change a File Hidden attribute using SetAttr, but was wondering how to change a Folder Hidden attribute.

I need to change the Hidden attribute of an existing folder.

Would I use FSO or can it be done using Shell32? An example would be appreciated.

I just checked, and it appears that SetAttr works on folders.

Ex:

' Set folder hidden
Call SetAttr("C:\Data\TekTips", vbHidden)

' Un-hide folder
Call SetAttr("C:\Data\TekTips", vbNormal)

After each one, I checked the properties for the folder (using windows explorer) and the hidden property was set appropriately.

Thank you for the quick reply.

I do not know why it did not work for me when I tried to get this to work yesterday, but as you said, it does work.
