1) Which tools are you using for hide files and folders?
2)How did you see them? On windows or DOS prompt?

Hi Xoben.1st, i do not use a tool to hide the folder, i try to use the option from easyboot.
2nd, i see them both in windows, Cmd, and also on a mounted .iso file
thank you for any information.

Please note only folder c:\easyboot\disk1\ezboot and all files under it will be hidden.

actually (using UltraISO, not EasyBoot) you can super-hide any file or folder. however, most things won't work if you do that; for instance, super-hiding the boot folder of, say, WinXP works ok, but if you try to hide all files in it, Windows won't be able to install.the idea is that certain things need to see the files on the disk (the XP setup is one example; another one is IsoLinux), if you want things to work as expected. I, for one, published on this forum (don't remember where) a hacked isolinux version which doesn't care of files being super-hidden - but i wouldn't go into patching the cdfs.sys of winxp - it's not worth the effort
