I don't think you can create a hidden folder like you want, at least in my
tests I've never been able to. I can only create new search folders under
Finder and new visible folders under IPM_SUBTREE.

Thanks Ken !

Yes indeed the RDOFolder object seems a good solution but...

I have been looking at the object and it seems you can only hide items
and not folders no ? What I am trying to prevent is the display of
backed up contact folders in the My Contact view. Just the creation of
an empty "Contacts Items" folder causes it's display in the My
Contacts view. Is there a way of hiding a folder and it's sub
folders ??
