$SYS$ does it work?

You can create hidden folders just by appending $ after the names. Although most of the time Admins in charge of a company's network will use things called Admin Shares (google it) and for that you create drives/partitions with $ in front of the drive letter and it will be hidden from everyone on the network except the admins.

I read somewhere that you could hide programs from the operation system by renaming the executable to $SYS$anything.exe. Is this true, and if not how would you be able to make this possible.

This is my opinion, it doesn't mean I'm right and is liable to change at any time. I may offend of which I apologize in advance.
