Hide Parameter with SP1

Installed SP1, still finding not possible to hide a parameter. Can someone provide the process please. The parameter is an ID that is send via URL to the report server. I created a Report Parameter for it, then created a queary parameter setting that to the incoming value of the Report Parameter. Help pleaseYou can hide a paremeter after you have deployed your report.
But hiding a parameter disallow you to pass any value to this parameter
through the URL!!!
The parameter is not simply hide to the user, is also completly inaccessible
to the user through any URL, but just available to the administrator to
change the default value of the parameter.

Help please|||According to another post by Brian Welcker,
"This is onlt supported on the server. In Report Manager, leave the 'prompt
user' checkbox checked but clear our the prompt string. This should not
prompt the user but still allow you to specify them via URL."
with SP1, you should be able to specify in URL

4.3.1 Hiding Parameters in a Published Report
In Report Manager, you can now set parameter properties in a way that allows you to achieve two objectives simultaneously:
Hide the parameter fields in a published report.
Specify a parameter value at run time (for example, through a subscription that is used to trigger report execution and delivery).
Previously, the only way to hide a parameter value was to clear the Prompt User check box in the Parameters properties page. However, a side effect of clearing the check box was that you could no longer specify a parameter value for the report at run time. This limitation has been removed. In SP1, you can clear the Prompt User check box to hide the parameter fields and values in the report. Doing so does not introduce restrictions on how you subsequently set the parameter value externally at run time.

I'll test this.
maybe this doesn't works for me because I have a default value.
