How can I hide a form to make it invisible to the user?

I can hide a form by right-clicking it and putting it as hidden, but the user can go in and click "show hidden files." Is there any that I can get it so they can't do this?
 
Why would you like to hide the form?

If it's because you don't want the user to see the code behind the form, you can create and .MDE file and that will keep the users from looking at the code.

Hope that I could help,

If you are referring to hiding it in the database window simply add 'Usys' in front of the form name. This makes it a system object. To later view the object goto tools, options, and check sys objects.
