Hiding Files in Windows -

Currently, I am developing a system that will extract some files from the SFX archive (files which are the second app). I want to hide the hidden files, so the person who got the location of XE could not find the file, which will be in the same directory with the XE. I know that I can apply attrib + h to files, but if the user changes the "hide and show system files" option in Windows, the files will appear.

There is no way to overcome it?

Thanks

If you can find and read your file, a user is. There is no way around it, no one can monitor when your application is running, what happens is, what files they are writing, or it is being written when it is being written. Notice why users do not want to find your files.

Is it because sensitive data, or what you want, do not change? Consider encrypting it or confirm its integrity with checksum or hash.
