What does thisattribthing do? Remember, we don't know Windows here. How hidden do you need these to be? Impossible to see or just hard to see?

There is no hidden attribute in Linux, instead you can add a dot.in the front of the file (or directory) name, thus the file will not be displayed unless you are not usingls -awithin the command line orCtrl+Hwithin the file manager. If you want to make your files private you need to setup right filesystem permissions or make them really private by using encryption - encrypted partition, encrypted directory or encrypted archive.

@pa4080 yes, so how hidden are they? Who can see them? Who can access them? My main point is that users shouldn't expect us to know what some thing from another operating system does. Brian, please edit your question and explain what you need so we can understand. Don't assume we know anything about Windows.

The question would be better if you explained exactly what you want instead of merely linking someplace else and hoping we'll correctly guess which features are important to you. Links tend to go stale quickly, making them useless for future reference.
