LUK it wud be better if u use "attrib +a +s +h +r" rather than using only attrib +s +h in this way u are only hiding the file .
But from my method u will be able to hide the file and make it a system attribute which is more better.

None of those measures actually hide the file from anyone that wants to find them. In addition, it's very easy to find them, even in Windows without any 3rd party extensions.

Its already being marked system. All you've added is to set it read only, and setting the archive flag. Neither of which have any effect on it's visibility in DOS

Or Windows, you just have to turn off Hide System Files in Folder properties.
