For the average user they are hidden. Some versions of Windows are coded to exempt these files even with all the various flags set.
Most Windows users don't have a clue how to change the S flag on a file.

Yes...I understand that. The H and S attributes are to keep the average user from poking at the files.Using "Super Hidden" to describe HS attributes is simply alarmist ignorance.
If we were talking about a file that has a dropped DOS extention....is encrypted with a GUID...included in the Registry System Path to prohibit deletion from Windows...etc etc etc....THEN we're talking about a "Super Hidden" file.

Okay, I've downloaded the Spider Zip. Now, how do I get it to clean up the Index.dat files on my puter?... Baby steps please, I'm computer illiterate.
