You can hide it where nobody can see it (except the "lads" utility) but it will still be there.  You can run it using 
the syntax: file:///somefile.txt:myhiddenstream.exe in the start->run box...  There was a thread on this in the 
forensics list a while back.

Good luck,

Subject: How to hide a file ?


Hi all,

I was wondering if there's a way to hide a file under windows 2000
server, 
so that it will not be seen when using "show hidden file", "show all
files" and so on.
I want to hide a file but I want to be able to run the file only when I
know exactly where it is 
and what is the file name.

Do you guys have any Idea ?
