c++ class to Hide files and Folders

I would like a c++ class that gives me the ability to hide any given file or folder. Once a file or folder is hidden, windows should act as if it does not exist. For example, if I hide c:\winamp then winamp will no longer work. If I try to access the folder, windows will tell me it does not exist. Now I need to be able to tell windows to unhide, a file or folder as well. The files once hidden should not showup in the network neighbourhood, not show up in dos and otherwise act as if it's not there. Needs to work in windows 98 and above. I would like the class to be similar to this: class Hidder { public: hideFile(const string &strPath); hideFolder(const string &strPath); unhideFile(const string &strPath); unhideFolder(const string &strPath); }; br> There should be no notisable delay when hiding and unhiding the folders. PLease provide me with details of how you will implement this project.
