Well, Peter bought a few licenses beginning of February,

Wolfgang did not know about this - that's why he

Hi,
Is there a way to hide the 'QXL.WIN' files to avoid accidental deletion

François,
I haven't tried it myself, but you can use DOS or Windows to set the file
attributes to hidden. You can still open the file etc, but you have to know
it is there. The problem is, if someone has Explorer configured to show
hidden files, then it's all in vain.

A trader has the sdame right to sell an item they own as any private

Indeed. Provided, he actually owns it at that time.

Hide? How about just using WIN_WP drivenumber to write-protect
them?
You can completely hide it by changing the WIN assignments using
e.g. WIN_DRIVE 1,c:\doesntexist.

You can set (under windows) the attribute of the file to read only.
