What is the best way to hide files and directories?

I know that you could set the file attribute to 'hide' or 'system'. But
this only prevents the files and directories from appearing when you do
a 'dir' in DOS. If you know the file or directory names, you could always
'cd' or 'type' or do whatever you want on those directories and files.



Any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks plenty.
