How do I unhide then hide files during install?

In one of the steps I need to unhide files (visible in their folder during install) then unhide them.

I found a registry key that does that and it works but only if the user logs off and logs on again - which stop the execution of my installer.

I noticed that in windows xp in folder options when you select hide/unhide and press the apply button this happen immediately without having to logoff/logon. How do they do that?

Can I do something similar in NSIS?
