Anyone know how to set file attributes to 'hidden' on files that are written onto a CD? I don't want people to see the files when browsing the CD.

I don't think this is possible with bog standard drives even if it were a
cd/rw. It may be possible with a Mount Ranier compatible drive.

Setting the "hidden" attribute won't keep people from seeing the files.
But you can set it and explorer won't see them unless you have it set
to show hidden files.
