1. Open command prompt.
2. Go to the path where the folder is located for ex E:\folder name. Then use the command,
attrib +s +h folderName
This command will turn the
folder into hidden, system folder. Since the system folders are
invisible and unsearchable, you folder is ultra hidden now.
3. To see the folder again,
open command prompt and go to the place where the hidden folder is
located, then use the following command,
attrib -s -h folderName
This will remove the hidden and the system attributes from the folder and the folder will be visible again,
That’s it.
Note 1 - If the folder that
you want to hide, contains a space in it, then you’ll get error while
changing its attributes. To get rid of this error, enclose the folder
name in quotes,
Note 2 - This trick works
because, by default, the option, Hide Protected Operating System
Files is checked. If your folder is still visible after its attributes
are changed, then make sure that this option is checked. To see this
option, open any folder, then go to Tools -> Folder Options, and
select the view tab.
Note that anybody can make
the system files, and hence your hidden folder, visible, by changing the
above view setting. But since nobody knows where the folder is actually
located, it would be almost impossible to view it. You can add one more
layer of protection in this Security through obscurity, by naming the folder to something which looks like windows folder, like cache, system32 etc
This is dummy text. It is not meant to be read. Accordingly, it is difficult to figure out when to end it. But then, this is dummy text. It is not meant to be read. Period.
