(1) VB.NET's 'SetAttr' and 'GetAttr' functions:

\\\
SetAttr( _
"C:\foo", _
GetAttr("C:\foo ") And Not FileAttribute.H idden _
)
///

(2) 'DirectoryInfo' class:

\\\
Imports System.IO
..
..
..
Dim f As New FileInfo("C:\fo o")
f.Attributes = f.Attributes And Not FileAttributes. Hidden
///

(3) 'File' class:

\\\

Imports System.IO
..
..
..
File.SetAttribu tes( _
"C:\foo", _
File.GetAttribu tes("C:\foo") And Not FileAttributes. Hidden _
)
///

Husam,
As the others suggest, you can set the DirectoryInfo.A ttributes to
FileAttributes. Hidden.

Rather then create a folder in what appears to be the Windows System
Directory, I would seriously suggest you consider using the "Program Files"
folder instead.

Something like:

Dim directoryPath As String
directoryPath =
Path.Combine(En vironment.GetFo lderPath(Enviro nment.SpecialFo lder.ProgramFil es),
"windowsdll\win 32app\direction ")
Directory.Creat eDirectory(dire ctoryPath)
Dim info As New DirectoryInfo(d irectoryPath)
info.Attributes = FileAttributes. Hidden

Note Environment.Spe cialFolder has a number of values that represent other
special folders such as the windows installation directory...

Hope this helps
