Okay, today I am going to share a little secret with you. I have met many people asking me same question on how to hide folders and files in their computers for several personal reasons. Some might want to hide Video’s that they think others shouldn’t see, some might wanna hide personal documents, music files etc.
There are many software’s out there to help realize this purpose but most of them are either scams, not free to download. Even the free ones would be detected as a harmful software by your anti-virus.
To save you the stress, here is a simple way of locking or hiding your files and folders in your computer.
Click “Start”, “Run,” and then type cmd. When the command prompt opens type “CD C:Test” (replace “Test” with the name of the folder you want to hide.)
Now type “attrib file +s +h” and replace “file” with the name of the actual file name or folder you would like to hide.
Now, go back to C:Test and look for your file or folder, it’s not there! You cannot find it through simply browsing around, through the command prompt, or even if you click “Show Hidden Files and Folders”.
To find the folder and it’s contents again simply go back to the command prompt, type “CD C:Test”
(of course, again replacing “Test” with the name of the folder,) and then type “attrib filename -s -h”. You should now be able to find your file again!
