You can now easily hide your files or folders through Command Prompt. It will be impossible for others to find the file or folder unless they know the filename or folder name. You can secure your documents easily by this method. Make sure you remember the file or folder name!
How To Hide Files And Folders?
We are now going to hide a folder using Command Prompt from Windows.

Suppose if you want to hide a folder named Pradeep in your E drive.
Then open the Command Prompt. [Goto Run and type cmd]
Type, attrib +s +h E:Pradeep
Where ,
E: : Drive name
Pradeep : Folder name
And If you want to make that folder appear, type,
attrib -s -h E:Pradeep
Note : Use this only for educational and security purposes.
