Hi, Today in this blog we will talk about hiding folders or files in cmd (command prompt). While hiding files normally we do not feel safe as even a first time worker in computer also knows how to show hidden files. So, it's safe to hide personal files , restricted content girlfriend's photo or files you don't want others to see to hide with cmd.
Step 1- open cmd.
You can press Win + R to open Run and then type in it. (I don't think Win+R will work in Windows XP .)
Step 2- Run it as administrator.
Step 3- Type the following commands :
attrib s h " location of file or folder "
For ex- attrib s h "d/dfw/private" .
Open the folder you will not see your files.
To show the files type the following commands -
attrib -s -h " location of file or folder "
For ex - attrib -s -h "d/dfw/private".
Open the folder you will see your files back.
Thats it enjoy.
Advantages - Secures your files. As only you know the location and only you can show.
Disadvantages: The files open if they are listed in history recent files etc. So you have to remove them from there.
Keep following us for updates.
