Can't hide it.

Why would you want to, what are you trying to hide in your install that you don't want other people to know about ?

I guess you could try setting the "hidden" folder property before creating your ISO. But anyone who can find the "show hidden files and folders" setting will be able to see it. Not very useful IMO.

hi please help me

how to hide folder $OEM$ in cd or dvd windows

A folder (graphical representation of a directory) may be set to hidden while mastering the contents of a disc. This is usually done in the "Properties" of a folder. In Nero Burning ROM 6.6.1.15d, a directory may be hidden by selecting “Hide” from the Properties dialogue box (Edit -> Properties) of a selected folder.

I remember reading about years some discovered undocumented feature of Windows 200/XP/Server 2003 years ago, and a feature existed to prevent a folder from being enumerated (hiding of folder) when a folder is renamed to have a special suffix. However, I am uncertain whether the folder would be treated as the "$OEM" folder by setup.

That usually entailed adding a $ to the end of a shared folder, similar to the administrative shares (C$,D$, etc) so that they do not appear when network browsing. (and it only applied to network browsing)

I don't think that can help the OP, because the $OEM$ folder is accessed locally whenever the CD is in the drive. (bypassing the setting)

You could use mkisofs.exe -hide $OEM$

But then windows wont find it

[MrJinje]

or maybe we hide it a different way.

I don't see why he couldn't create a SFX file with the correct folder structure and make it extract to the root of the drive. Convert that SFX into a hotfix, integrate it with nlite, and it will extract during setup, but will not be visible to any casual observers. Maybe even throw in a clean up script to delete the extracted files afterwords.

Would that work.

You are only going to hide it from novices:

but as a another roadblock in addition to setting it to hidden:

you could also name it [alt+0160]

as in the keystroke that will create a blank character

you could then change the icon to one of the default blank icons

then it appears as a blank space at the top of the folder listing.

---of course not with $oem$ itself, with maybe just a single content folder underneath the $oem$ would appear empty save for the size.
