Make a super hidden folder

Almost anyone knows how to
make a “hidden” folder in
Windows, but then again almost
anyone knows how to make
explorer show hidden folders.
Let’s take a look at how to make
a folder so hidden, only you will
know its there.
Anyone that has used Windows
for a while knows that they can
right-click on a file or folder and
edit its properties, more so its
attributes to make it a so called
“hidden” file or folder. The
problem is that just as many
people know you can show files
and folders that have the
“hidden” attribute by simply
changing a radio button under
the folder view options. The
easiest way to make a real
hidden file or folder is to mark it
as an important operating
system file, that way Windows
wont display it even if explorer
is set to display hidden files and
folders.
To do this we need to launch a
command prompt, so press the
Win + R key combination and
type cmd then hit the enter
button.
Now we are going to use the
attrib command, so go ahead
and type:
attrib +s +h “C:\Users\Taylor
Gibb\Desktop\Top Secret”
You will need to replace the
stuff in the inverted comma’s to
an absolute path of a folder or
file on your system that you
want to make hidden.
Now if I go look for the Top
Secret folder on my Desktop it is
gone, even with explorer set to
show hidden files and folders.
To unhide the file or folder you
can run the same command,
except this time use “-“ instead
of the “+” signs.
attrib -s -h “C:\Users\Taylor Gibb
\Desktop\Top Secret”
Like magic, my folder appeared
again.
Warning
While this method will catch
99% of people, if I knew for a
fact that there was a hidden
folder on a system that I was
looking for there are many
ways that will expose the
folder. The easiest would be to
make explorer show operating
system files, which can be done
through the same interface as
showing hidden files.
Although any ordinary user who
unchecks the box will most
probably be scared off by the
warning message that appears.
Hope this was informative, now
go hide all your things
