I have opted for a secured, hidden folder marked as hidden, system reserved and encrypted, and requiring a python script to unlock. Using the attrib DOS command, but it does the trick. I'm also using EFS encryption on the folder, so even if the system and hidden attributes are cleared, people still can't access it.
I've been wanting to make a program that hides a folder that has a lot of my sensitive files on it.  I use python as my main programming language.
I need a way to hide the folder from Windows Explorer, even if the "Show Hidden Files" option is checked. I know how to hide it normally, right-clicking on the folder and checking the "hidden" option, but I need users to not be able to see it at all. I also need to be able to unhide it using the same program.
If anyone knows a solution, please let me know!
Thank you!
Is there a way to hide a folder even when "show hidden files" is checked using python?
