Hidden directory

Hi everyone,

I'm running php on win2000 server and iis. I have a script that builds
the directory sturcture of a directory or a drive. My problem is that i
want to find that which directories are hidden. I have looked stat()
function but it seems that it does not return a value for being hidden
or not.

Thanks for any help,

Thanks, that solved my problem, but i can't keep thinking how would it
be possible if the shell_exec is disabled from the ini file.
