How can I securely hide a file using the .NET Compact Framework?

I found many articles regarding encyrpt/decrypt (secure) files using C#. But apart from that, I also want to hide those files from explorer. Means, it should not be viewable by user. Only application can restore that files using secure key that we used for encryption.

Any thoughts?

If you want to fully "hide" files from Explorer, the only way to achieve it is by writing a File System Filter (which could also be used for encrypting them). It cannot be done in managed code.
