PowerShell v2 Function Hide Folder

While working on a project I came up with a quick need to hide a folder, so, I wrote this canned function:

function Hide-Folder

{

      param(

            $foldername

      )

     

      if(Test-Path $foldername)

      {

            $(Get-Item $foldername).Attributes = Hidden

      }

      else

      {

            Write-Error "The folder ($($foldername)) was not found."

      }

}

The source of the .Attributes trick was:
