Hiding Your Folders And Files Using Command Prompt by DONKHAY(m): 3:34pm On Nov 05, 2014
At times we just want to be private like keeping some of
our files and folders from the eyes of our kids, family, friends
and colleagues. But it just seems impossible to hide our
private files because even if you use the default hide me
style, they’ll
still be able to see it, so how are we going to hide the files so
they can be safe from other eyes? We shall be playing with
our command prompt today
and see what we’ll find.
Once we hide our file/ folder using command prompt, there is
no way it can be viewed even if you search or click “all
hidden files and folders”.
Now if you want a slick way of hiding your files/ folders then
this simple but yet delicate trick is for you. Don’t worry it
works on all os
How To Hide Files And Folders Using Command Prompt
Now let us start with the main issue at hand. Let’s say you
have a folder in your drive c named
“movies” and you don’t want anybody to view it except just
you alone. This is the trick you should follow.
1. Go to your Run Command by Clicking the windows icon
and type Run to bring out the Run command or you can just
do it the simple way by
using your keyboard shortcuts by Pressing windows
key + R. Run command dialog box will appear.

2. In the Run command search box, type “cmd” (without
Quotes) and press enter key or click the Ok button. A
command prompt window will display.
3. Now type “attrib +s +h C:movies” and press your enter.

4. The folder “movies” will be hidden
Note-The folder “movie” cannot be viewed by anyone not
even your search options
Now we have successfully hidden the folder where
not even your search options can look for it. How awesome is
that? ow! Before I forget, if you want
to view the folder or file you’ve hidden, just replace the ‘+’
with ‘-‘ (minus) on both sides so it’ll look like “attrib –s-h
C:movies…
