Try this:

Code

IO.File.SetAttributes(Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.ApplicationData) & "\test", IO.FileAttributes.Hidden)

And make sure you have the folder "test" in AppData\Roaming.

Post above code will only apply the attribute to the folder, if you want to hide the folder's content (either other folders or files) you'll have to do it for each file/folder.

Try this:

Code

IO.File.SetAttributes(Environment.GetFolderPath(Environment.SpecialFolder.ApplicationData) & "\test", IO.FileAttributes.Hidden)

And make sure you have the folder "test" in AppData\Roaming.

I get this error

Please provide a screenshot of that part of code.

you just need to set the right name of the folder
like this

Code

import system.io
try
if file.exists(yourfiles path) then
file.setattributes("Your files path" , Attribute)
else
msgbox("file not found")
end if
catch ex as exception
msgbox(ex.message)
end try

if some exception happen, write it here and i will see if i can help


you can use this instead %appdata%

Code

my.computer.specialdirectory.appdata

if i don't wrong, it will work.

Just re-write that line, not C+P it and it should work. Visual Studio does stupid shit occasionally, which is probably why it's giving you errors.
