How to hide files and folders using Command prompt

I suggest this is the best method to hide the files than using folder options

Here’s how you can create a hidden folder ehich is secure:

1. Go to Start, Run and then type in CMD to open the command prompt window.

• Now navigate to the parent folder of the folder you want to hide. If you want to hide a file, navigate to the folder where the file is located. For example, I want to hide a file in E:\Test, so I would type in the following:

• Now type in the following command, replacing the word filename with the name of the file you want to hide.
  attrib filename +s +h
  And that’s it! Your file or folder is now completely hidden! It won’t show up in My Computer, it won’t show up if you browse via the command prompt and it won’t even show up if you select “Show all Hidden Files and Folders”.
  If you want to un-hide the folder you simple follow the same steps, expect now you’ll run this command:
  attrib filename -s -h
  You can use this command for both files and for folders. In our example, if I wanted to hide E:\test, I would go one level above to E:\ and then type in attrib Test +s +h.
  
  
  
  You should definitely need to remember which folders or files you have hidden as there will be no other way of determining what’s missing, so make sure you remember what you had hidden.
