Hiding scheduled tasks in 2K/XP

Hey all,

Ive found that you can use attrib.exe on files in %windir%\tasks, particularly with the +h attribute. "Attrib.exe +h *" will hide all scheduled tasks from AT, Scheduled Tasks (both Control Panel + explorer) and "dir %windir%\tasks" (unless you use dir /a or have it set as such in %dircmd%). Browsing %windir%\tasks on the cmd line with "dir /a" is the only way ive been able to detect jobs that have been hidden this way. They run as scheduled. Tested on 2000 SP3 & XP SP1.
