Windows Folder properties

[LabViewdeveloper]

I want to know how to programmatically hide a folder in WIndows using LabView?

Hi LabViewde...,

if you mean to set the hidden flag, you can use the SetFileAttributes function from the Kernel32.dll.

hey mike

thanks for your reply,

i tried your solution, but unfortunately Labview crashes due to not enough memory space.

So what parameters should i give for the Set file attribute in the configure of dll in labview?
