Hiding the files in windows easy by selecting the option as hide the file in its properties. But we can see the files by selecting the option: show hidden files
There is one more way to hide the folder. So files insides the folder also not visible even if you select the show hidden file option.
Steps to follow:
- create a folder which you want to hide it. copy the files in to that folder which you want to hide.
- open command window
- Go to the folder directory.
- type attrib +s +h <folder name> and press enter
(that's it, folder gets hidden now. ) If you know the exact path, then you can open it in windows explorer or by using run window.
- if you want reverse the hidden folder to be shown:
then, type attrib -s -h <folder name> and press enter. That's all.
In these image, i used the folder dev-cpp to be hidden using command and again changed the hidden status using the cmd. I copied that folder in 'c:\' directory. So, i m directly go for the command. But suppose if i copied that folder in some other location, then i have to go for that location in command prompt and then only we have use these commands to hide the folder which we want to do.
Eg:
I copied the same dev-cpp folder in to system32 location. Then i open the cmd: C:\cd windows (press enter)
C:\windows\cd system 32 (press enter)
now we are in the system 32 location. Now go and type attrib +s +h <folder name which i want to hide>
