I am trying to make an alias to make a file hidden as one can do in windows by right clicking the file and selecting hide, but i have no experience with com and wondering if anyone could assist. I would like something like a command /hide <path to filename> Many Thanks in advance

It'll be something along those lines... cmd may need a switch of its own... I forget. Invision Support #Invision on irc.irchighway.net
