Hey Oisin, I think we are all on the same page now...
Just out of curiosity, I did a little google and found this: http://www.cleanersoft.com/hidefolder/free_hide_folder.htm It seems to work quite well. You can get into the hidden folder from the DOS command line, but it doesn't list with the DOS command 'dir', so you would have to guess the folder name correctly to get in and do any damage. It doesn't appear in Windows Explorer or in the Java file chooser - both must rely on the same directory-listing part of the operating system. Don't know about python etc, but someone here might be kind enough to check. Programmatic access to the folder is unimpaired. All that the teacher would need to do is enter both a password and a secret sub-folder name, and the SRS program would need to avoid listing the full pathname in the title bar and elsewhere. Seems to be a workable low-budget solution, beyond the reach of your average school bully, though I am sure tech-savvy people could bust it. The file-hider is freeware with a nag screen. Cheers, Craig. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "mnemosyne-proj-users" group. To post to this group, send email to [email protected].
