Hello,

How can I hide a File/Folder with Delphi, without using a hook?
For Taskmanager you can "hide a process" by removing it from the Taskmanagers ListView.
How can I do that for windows explorer?
Can someone help me there?

I am not talking about setting the file attributes to hidden or system, Ia talking about completely remove it from the explorers view.
Is it possible without hooking?
Or if it needs hooking using DLL injection, how would you do it?

Given how the file system handles displaying and enumeration files you are going to have to hook something sooner or later to truly get the files to be hidden from view. Whether it be a simple API hook or a SSDT hook.

Not necessarily. WDM allows for filter drivers that can do exactly this. That's how transparent NTFS compression / encryption are handled, and how most AVs now do kernel-mode disk access scanning.

A filter driver is 'technically' a hook. A microsoft endorsed hook, but it's a hook

Yeah, I'm not really going to argue the nomenclature of it. I prefer to refer to pointer modification / detour patching as a hook, but that's just me.
