How can you hide your files and folders not to be seen by anyone other you? Its just a simple trick anyone can do, what you need is just a basic understanding of how to use a computer.
Do the following:
- Click on a start button: In a search files and programs type the word RUN (doesn't matter whether you use capital letter or small letters)
- Click on RUN and type the word CMD and a command prompt box will open. There you are and now you can hide your files, by:
 |
| This is how a command prompt looks like |
- Type the following line of command attrib +s +h D:\pictures (Depends on the file you want to hide, mine was pictures)
- After you finish typing that press enter button in your keyboard, then go where your file was located and you will no longer find it.
- What is that? The letter D is the drive where your file is located and pictures is the file name I want to hide which is located in D drive. So if the folder you want to hide is called music and is in drive E the command line will be attrib +s +h E:\music
- So what if the folder called music is located within another folder called songs? Its easy you just type this attrib +s +h D:\songs\music and press enter button to hide your folder.
That was hidding a folder, now is how you can Unhide it.
- It is just changing the + sign and put a - sign, for example in our first trial we hide the folder named pictures which is in D drive, this is how you can bring it back,
- Use the first and second step above to get to a command prompt
- Type attrib +s +h D:\pictures
- Press enter in your keyboard and get back to your drive to check your folder
NB:
- To unhide you just put a -(minus) sign before s and h while to hide you use +(plus) sign
- There are spaces between attrib and +s
- The drive letter does not start with a + sign
