How To Completely Hide Files/Folders Using Command Prompt| Windows(10/8.1/8/7/XP)

People usually store lots of data in their systems that they don't want anyone to see. No matter what kind of content you keep on your computer, you'll always find reasons to hide certain files and folders. Files/Folders may have important documents, videos, photos etc that you want to keep private, or you simply want to prevent users from accidentally seeing those files or even deleting certain files. If you're sharing your PC with other people, or maybe some one close to you such as your friends access your pc then this method can surely help you. The normal hiding the files/folders procedure by going to their properties and clicking on the hiding option is a well known procedure, But it can be easily viewed if some one is smart enough to maybe un-check the option of hiding images and viewing all hidden files/folders option in the system. This method is specially for those people who want to hide the file completely as it is simple and not everyone knows this method and maybe only people having technical background might know about this method.
Step1: Go to command prompt and redirect it to the specific directory that the file is located.

In my case my file was inside adobe folder in E:\ directory.

Step 2:- Type command: Attrib +h +s +r filename

+h-> Hiding
+r-> Read Only
+s-> System
we can just put +h there and try as well but +h will just work as you normal hide option. Once you type +h +s +r then the output will be as be seen the image below.

As we can clearly see from the image above that even when the hidden image button is on the image wont be visible to anyone. If we want to un-hide the image then we will have to go to the directory where is file is hidden, we will have to know the name of the file and then only we will be able to un-hide the hidden image.
Step 3:- Unhide the File using command: Attrib -h -s -r filename

One we run the command we will clearly see the hidden file.

We can see now that the hidden file is visible now. Hope you learned this simple trick and was helpful to you.
