HIDE FILES AND FOLDERS WITH COMMAND PROMPT

 today we gonna see how to hide Files And Folders With Command Promt.

For instance: Say you have a folder with name "Photos" which is stored in drive " D " and you think strangers should not see this folder then to hide that folder do the followings. 

STEPS : 


Press Windows key + Run , Run command will appear. 
In that type cmd and press enter. 
This will open Command prompt 
Now Type 
"attrib +s +h D:\Photos"
then press enter. 

Thats it your folder is now hidden, if not then there will be some mistake done by you. (you will have to change the directory accordingly.

once hidden it cannot be viewed by any search option.) 

Once hidden, now you want to unhide it again, simply use the same command but replace '+' with '-' on both flags 's' and 'h' (For eg : "attrib -s -h D:\Photos" ) 


I believe this tutorial will help you a lot,
