Hide Technique - Ariel-MN/Hidden_Folder GitHub Wiki

Explanation of the technique used to hide the folders.

The method consists of two steps:

1. Change the name of the folder by adding a dot sign to the beginning of it, in this way any shortcut created to this folder will lose its connection with it.

2. A property is inferred to the folder that indicates that it belongs to the operating system, in this way the system resolves to hide it to avoid possible unwanted damage to what seems to be its own files.
