China DOS Union

I am very noob, really can't understand how the one - key ghost of站长 Ge from DOS Home creates a ~1 such deeply hidden folder. After running one - key ghost, a ~1 folder will be established in the last hard disk partition. It is established under DOS, and the backup file C_pan.gho is stored here. In WINXP, by running F:\~1\, you can see it, or in CMD, input dir/a F:\~1\ to access this folder and see the system - hidden C_pan.gho file. I would like to ask you all, how is this deeply hidden folder created under DOS?

The methods I have seen before to create some hidden and non - deletable folders under WINXP, such as:

md c:\...\

md c:\123..\

md "c:\ \ "

md "c:\123 \ "

md "c:\　"

etc. are all not usable under DOS, and the first one is also not usable under NTFS format.

If directly create md F:\~1 under DOS and add the system hidden attribute, in WINXP it can be seen, and it cannot be deeply hidden.

It's quite strange.
I can see this C-PAN.GHO from the DOS command line.
But I can't see it from the local disk.
Even using the attrib -s -h command, there's no result at all.

Searched many places and found a way to see the one-key recovery backup file C-PAN.GHO.

First, display all files, including system-hidden ones.

Create a ~1. folder in cmd, for example:

F:\>md ~1..\

Open this folder to see the backup file.

Delete the ~1. folder to hide it again.

F:\>rd ~1..\

The backup file C-PAN.GHO will not be deleted.

Now I want to ask how this ~1 folder is created under DOS.

Below is the batch module I wrote for creating multi-level, long-filename directories in a DOS game running system

(Conditions: Have FIND, GET, may also need DOSLFN,
Also there are a few WBATs. If you don't use WBAT, just remove them and related parts)

Usage:
set enddir=The directory you want
call multidir.bat

********************************
multidir.bat

@echo off

:start
set lfn=%enddir%

dir "%lfn%" /w/ad|find /i "%lfn%" >nul
if not errorlevel 1 goto final

md "%lfn%" >nul

dir "%lfn%" /w/ad|find /i "%lfn%" >nul
if not errorlevel 1 goto ok

set pos=
set left=%lfn%
set right=

:toleft
get # "%left%" '\' /x >nul
set pos=%get%
get z "%lfn%" %pos% >nul
set right=%get%
get r "-" %pos% /w1 >nul
get z "%left%" /w%get% >nul
set left=%get%

dir "%left%" /w/ad|find /i "%left%" >nul
if not errorlevel 1 goto toright
goto toleft

:toright
if "%right%"=="" goto end
get # "%right%" '\' >nul
if "%get%"=="0" goto last
get r "+" %pos% /w%get% >nul
set pos=%get%
get r "-" %pos% /w1 >nul
get z "%lfn%" /w%get% >nul
set left=%get%
get z "%lfn%" %pos% >nul
set right=%get%

md "%left%" >nul
dir "%left%" /w/ad|find /i "%left%" >nul
if not errorlevel 1 goto toright
set lfn=%left%
goto fail

:last
md "%lfn%" >nul

:end
dir "%lfn%" /w/ad|find /i "%lfn%" >nul
if not errorlevel 1 goto ok

:fail
wbat box "Directory creation failed! ^%lfn%" Retry, Return
if errorlevel 2 goto final
goto start

:ok
wbat box "Directory creation successful! ^%lfn%" Continue...

:final

The master upstairs, but you may have a little misunderstanding of my meaning.

I don't want to create other directories.

Just a directory like one-click restore ~1, such as:

F:\~1\

This kind of directory, which is required to be created under DOS and is not visible under WINXP, and it stores GHO backup files.

Oh,
But, the deep directory means multi-layer directories

Then I'll take a look at what's going on..

I looked at the MDD.bat of One-key GHOST, it seems like this to create this directory:

doslfn >nul
md F:\..
md F:\~1

Loaded long filename support, then created two directories, which can be accessed under DOS,

In WINXP, they are not visible, really amazing.

These two directories are actually one directory, F:\~1.

In the CMD of WINXP, using DIR can see a [..] directory, this directory cannot be entered.

Only by using cd ~1 can enter this hidden directory.

Also can start F:\~1 to open this directory.

Finally created successfully.

Thank you, GOTOmsdos, for your help. Just the sentence

　　"may also need DOSLFN"

was a real eye-opener for me.

Run under DOS

DOSLFN
md F:\..
md F:\~1

Friends who are interested might as well give it a try.

Interesting. Learned.

Learned a lot, thank you.

Learning

I ran under DOS
Running under DOS

DOSLFN
md F:\..
md F:\~1

Among them, the DOSLFN. EXE execution is completed
MD F:\~1 is completed
But md f:\.. prompts "Unable to create directory"
Where did I go wrong

In addition, when running under WINXP, executing the entire batch file will form a ~1 directory. But it cannot be hidden

This might be basic knowledge of DOS?

..\ and .\ are automatically assigned by the system (the same in LINUX)
..\ means the upper-level directory
.\ means the current-level directory

In the graphical state of WIN, they are not visible, but in the command line they are.

But there are also differences:
In DOS:
You can CD.. or CD ..
But in LINUX:
Only CD ..

To hide:
ATTRIB +H directory
For details, you can view:
ATTRIB /?

Boss, you may have misunderstood my meaning. The original intention of the thread starter is to create a hidden directory on drive F that can be seen under DOS but not under Windows, similar to the dwarf's ARGO.. The dwarf's can be seen under Windows, and he wants to create a directory stronger than the dwarf's.

I know that.. is automatically assigned by the system.

But the current key is to create such a directory on f:\. The problem is how to create it.
