      No. Hiding files is still just an attribute.

      Actually, technically, it’s two. Files marked as system files are treated as hidden as well…

        With the downside that files marked as hidden on windows generally can’t be read by tools and scripts in the way you expect it.

      They are in subfolders of C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming or \Local or \LocalLow.
      Or in the program’s installation path in C:\Program Files or \Program Files(x86).
      Or in a separate directory directly under C:\
      Or the settings are handled via Registry keys.
      Or whatever the fuck Microsoft Store apps do.
      Or any combination of the above.
