Re How to hide files:

You might also want to create a directory which cannot be traversed
without a fair bit of MS-DOS knowledge.

The trick is to use an extended-ascii character in the directory
name. The easiest way to enter extended-ascii from the keyboard
is via the ALT key.

	(i.e MD games[alt 255])

this will create what appears to be a "games" directory. But it cannot
be entered with a CD \GAMES command. Only CD\GAMES[alt 255] will work.
