  attrib X +s +h +a (X = name of the folder)
  
  PS: Folder X's contents will be super hidden, not the folder X itself. I mean data content in Folder will be super hidden.

  First, you shouldn't have typed all of your question in the subject.
  
  Second, as far as my memory serves me right - attrib works only on files. But I could be wrong. I've not used Windows in the last several months.

  attrib X +s +h +a (X = name of the folder)

  Don't have a Windows machine to try this out. But the syntax seems to be -
  
  

  ATTRIB [+R | -R] [+A | -A] [+S | -S] [+H | -H] [[drive:][path]filename] [/S]

  Command is correct. Most probably your folder path or name have spaces in between so you run the command like
  
  atrrib +h +s "PATH TO THE FOLDER HERE"
  
  i.e. the path should be in double quote.

  How about cd to the folder you wanna superhide & then use
  

  attrib X +s +h +a (X = name of the folder)

  I usually do this & it works.

  It will work anyways. Since the switches are identified by their own names, their order doesn't matter.
