Did you ever feel like hiding your personal files or folders from your friends or others atleast in one or other situation!!. I would say 95% of the users say yes and here is the answer..
There are lot of softwares/ tools on the internet that will hide/unhide your files. But there may not be a possibility to have a software in your system every time. So lets see the unique way to hide your files/folders.
What ever may be the windows version you use, the basic command prompt is common thing in all. So lets tweak around the command prompt to hide your personal files. Here are the steps..
Step 1: Open your command prompt either from start-> run->type cmd or by simply pressing "windows key + r" and typing cmd.
Step 2: Browse to the location where your file/folder is present on the local drive. You can use different command prompt commands like "cd"(change directory) , cd.. and so on to reach your final destination.
Step 3: Use this command to hide your files
attrib +h +s +r +a [filename] or [foldername] without the square [] brackets
Don't worry much about it ..
+h makes the file/folder as hidden
+s makes the file/folder as system file
