Here s a tricky way to "hide" a few files... First, have them in an obscure path, with a name that won t make one want to read/see it....Take examples in c:\windows\sytem or c:\winnt\system and other directories inside them... Then name your file with a magic char in it...
type "Windows_dataFFCD32 .sxt" as for the name of your file...
^^^ Here is the trick...end the name of your file by <Alt><2><5><5> ...It will look like a classic space, but isn t.... AFAI Remember, it can t be found by a classic search without the exact name. And don t have it as a txt or exe (prehaps) extension otherwise one could want to read/execute it.... It s stupid, but it works... Pied -- format c: Done ! Installing Linux..... Done !
