Re: How to hide a file ?

JJ,

First off, let me say that in the past, I've tested
the 'start' command like this, and hit hasn't worked. 
I'll have to do more testing...but I did what you did
below, verbatim...

When I ran the above, I didn't get a listing for
Sol.exe *at all*.  I tried using the Task Manager,
pulist.exe, as well as pslist.exe from SysInternals. 
In every case, the new process showed up as
'explorer.exe'.

Very odd behavoir.

Now, I made a change to the setup above.  Instead of
an executable, I put the ADS behind a text file:

C:\ads>type c:\winnt\system32\sol.exe > 
c:\ads\myfile2.txt:sol.exe

Running it w/ the 'start' command appears as
'myfile.txt' in Task Manager, pulist, and pslist.
