Hide folder with Python - trixxx_128 - 05-10-2019
Hi Hi,
i am looking for variants how to hide folders with python..
I've already worked out a solution.
Code:
import shutil
import os
import win32con
import win32api
path1=r"C:\Users\user1\Desktop\5"
path2=r"C:\Users\Administrator\Dokumente\Word"
#path3=r"C:\Windows\System32\Test"
path_exist=os.path.exists(path2)
if path_exist==True:
print("Ok")
else:
shutil.copytree(path1,path2)
print("copy from ", path1)
print("copy to: ",path2)
win32api.SetFileAttributes(path2,win32con.FILE_ATTRIBUTE_HIDDEN) #Verstekct den Ordner
print("hiden")Does someone know other possibilities to hiden folders with python?
It is possible to create a folder in the system32 windows folder (see path3 to bypass this error PermissionError: [WinError 5] Access is denied)
I'm sorry for my bad english.

The directory Is In use by the OS, hence the permission error.
Boot with a Live CD, navigate to the System32 directory and perform your tasks thereafter.

in my case when i want to hide files or folders using the shell i use the bat command attrib, that allow the user to set attributes for a specific file, you ask how could you do it in python, just try to do it using the system enviroment, if you need it to work in linux and windows include an if condition for each case.
try this code to use the operative system enviroment.
import os
os.system("attrib +h " + "your file name")

If U Do Not Apply System Attrib...
Then The File Will Be Visible If The User Clicks On View Hidden Files
