Default Hide Folder


How can I hide/unhide a folder in VB? I've looked all over, but can't find exactly what I'm looking for... I basically want to change the options of the folder, like when you right click one and click 'Hidden.' That sort of thing.

Thanks in advance,
Jared

You can use the SetAttr statement to change attributes of files and folders. Why are you needing to set a folder to Hidden?
