some time we need to protect our sencitive data with the password but unfortunatly we need a

software for that but here is the trick provide which not use any such type of software .here only use

cmd for protecting our data.

hiding any folder or file with the help of command prompt is not easily found by any one even if you

use search bar of your computer .The most important thing is that, once hidden with this method, the files/folders cannot be viewed by any search options even if you click "Show All Hidden Files and Folders".

Hiding the most wanted files and folders is very important nowadays and it's really a tedious job too.

In order to make this tedious job an easy one, i'm going to deliver you a the trick now.

For Example: You have a folder named "myphotos"  is stored in (Disk Drive E). You think that it

should not be seen by strangers who use your PC.

For that you need to follow the following instructions

    step:1) first of all simply Press windowkey+R for open run box now  Run command dialog box appears.

step:2)  after this type cmd in run box and press okay now a popup window will come to you .

    step:3)  simply type "attrib +s +h E:\myphotos" in cmd window and hit inter to proceed furthur

action.(make sure myphotos is your folder which you want to hide.)

MAKE SURE HERE I USE DRIVE "E" PLEASE CHANGE IT WITH APPROPRIATE DRIVE.
 
  step:4) now when you hit enter your folder namely myphotos is hide from your computer.it is not detect by any type of search process.


 
REVERSE ACTION:


HERE reverse action is also provided by me.if you want to see that folder in future simply open cmd

again and and use following command

attrib -s -h E:\myphotos    (To view this folder again, use the same command but replace '+' with '-' on both flags 's' and 'h')
