sc0rpi0 Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 I couldn't help but notice that in the hacksaw, before files are run, they are unhidden with this command: attrib *.* -s -h My question is do they really have to be unhidden before using them? Quote
Sparda Posted February 10, 2008 Posted February 10, 2008 A program that uses the windows API in a silly way would not be able to find the files for some reason. Similarly, people who hide file extensions will find that they can not use the file browser in WinLAME as it will error with a file not found type error. Quote

For some reason though, when I do not unhide them, they can still be executed. Quote

I think that the only problem when hiding executables is that some programs won't view the files - which is the whole point of hidden files. They should still be able to execute. Quote
