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.

a
rchive 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.
