Hidden files?

Is it possible to create hidden files from TGB?

One possible use would be to store the current date in the file, so users can't reset their computer's clock to some prior date, in order to enter an expired pirated registration code.

Wouldn't this trigger UAC on Vista and Vista 2? You can't do it on a Mac - the nearest you get is dotfiles. Also, there are places you should and shouldn't put files, so they'll generally be in the user's space, where they have full control, or trigger UAC. Which you don't want :)
