What is the Advanced Hidden file property and how is it different from the regular Hidden property?

When 'Advanced Hidden' attribute is turned on, the file/folder cannot be listed by Windows Explorer (even 'show hidden files' option is checked) or DOS 'DIR /H' command.

Cool. I take it programs can still read the file though. Is there some way to set the attribute externally? (For example, using explorer to set the regular hidden file attribute on a file before it's added to an ISO image has the effect of the file being marked as hidden on the CD. Is there a similar way to mark a file as "Advanced Hidden" before the ISO image is built?)

Sorry, there is no corresponding attribute under Microsoft's DOS or Windows operating systems.

Thanks for the information. What would be really nice is a command line option for adding a file as advanced hidden when adding it. Something like:

Code Sample
ultraiso -ahfile c:\buildcd\file.ext -directory c:\buildcd -output Output.iso


In this case all the files under "c:\buildcd" would be added to the iso image and the "file.ext" file would be marked as advanced hidden.
