- Hidden File
-
- Any file that is on the disk but has a special flag set in the directory
- that "hides" it from normal view. The system files are usually hidden files.
- You won't see hidden files listed if you do a DIR command. To list and
- manipulate hidden files usually requires the use of a separately purchased
- program.
-
- The other attributes (characteristics, properties) that DOS keeps track of for
- each file are described in the DIRECTORY definition.
