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...
