We all know how to make a hidden folder in Windows. To hide a folder we “Right Click” on the folder and Select Properties and in “Attributes” we check the box in front of “Hidden”. That’s it, the folder is hidden now.
The sad part of this is that almost everyone know how to explore the hidden folders. To explore the Hidden folder we navigate to “Control Panel>File Explorer Option” and under the “View” tab we check “Show Hidden files, folder and drives”.
That’s it, now all the hidden files and folders are visible. So even after hiding any file or folder, it’s not hidden. So how to hide it completely so that no one except you can access the hidden folder or file without using any software?
