Completely Hiding Folders and Files

Method 1 (Folders Only)

• Right click on any folder and rename.
• Switch off numlock.
• Hold the left alt key and type 0160 from the numpad.
• Click anywhere and the name field on the folder will be blank.
• Now go to its properties and change its icon to a blank one.

The Folder will become invisible. Incase of files you can only give a blank name field and not icon.

Method 2 (Files and Folders)

This method involves use of some basic programming in .bat

OPEN NOTEPAD AND TYPE THE GIVEN LINES

1. Hide Folders

• attrib +h +r +s "E:\Music"

2. Hide Files

• attrib +h +r +s "E:\Music\Lonely.mp3"

3. Hide All FILES Inside a Folder

• attrib +h +r +s "E:\Music\*.*"

Save the file as filename.bat and run it to hide whatever you want to.

• By replacing the '+' with '-' you can reverse this.
• The attrib command refers to attributes.
• h, r, s denote hidden ,read-only, and system attributes respectively.
• "*.*" command will apply to all FILES (NOT FOLDERS) inside the specified folder .
