Batch script that hides all items in folder

Question

I want to create a small .bat file that will hide all items in one specific folder (actually add attributes +s and +h to them), but I am not really good at scripting so I need your help.

Thanks in advance.

edit: I don't want folder to be hidden, but just all items inside it.

Answer 1

This should do the job and hides folders also.

attrib +s +h "c:\folder\*.*" /D

Answer 2

use dir /A /D, the result gives all directory names enclosed in [] and file name without []. Loop through all the names which are not enclosed within [] and set the attribute using attrib +s +h

Answer 3

for /f "delims=" %%a in ('dir /a /b "c:\somewhere\*"') do attrib +h +s "%%~fa"
