Got some private files you wish to keep away from people when they access yor PC?

If yes, then you will need to read this to the tail. If you share a PC with friends and co-workers or even your siblings, kids or parents, then you know that some of them might try accessing your private files. And If they really want to access your files and folders, it will be easy unless you put in some security.

However, you can’t just simply name them “Secret” and “Secret.txt”; it will still not stop them from accessing it. So if you’re worried that they will still access your files, there are some things you can do to increase your security and we’ll talk about it.

You don’t have to be an IT professional or a Computer Scientist to protect your files and folders on Windows 10. In fact, even if you’re on Windows XP, Windows Vista, or Windows 7, you should aim to secure your files from prying eyes. And the quickest and easiest way to do that is to create hidden files and folders. But if you want to go the extra mile, you can make them invisible.

So how do you create these hidden items? It’s pretty simple and here are the two ways that you can do the job:

Hide files and folders using File Explorer
Hide files and folders using Command Prompt
I’ll be walking you through on how to do it.

Hide Files and Folders using File Explorer
This is the method that I think most people are familiar with. The process never changed from Windows XP up to know. It’s just that the UI has changed. If you were able to do it in previous Windows iterations, just simply do what you did before and your files and folders will be hidden.

Still, here’s a walkthrough on how you can hide your files and folders in Windows using File Explorer.

Open File Explorer
Locate the files and folders that you wish to hide. I’ll be hiding the two “secret” items here
Right click the item that you want to hide and click on Properties
The properties window should show, make sure that Hidden is ticked on
