How to Hide Folder & File (Show hidden files option will not work)

By using this method, you can hide/unhide any file or folder. Even "Show hidden files" option of windows will not show it. But, hotlinking to that file in the system will work.

Steps to hide:

• Go to Command Prompt (CMD)
• Then type the following code (Copy the code, right click at cmd window, then paste), 
  Code:
  attrib +s +h "Full path of folder"
  Change "Full path of folder" with your file path, for example: "C:\Users\H4CK3R\Desktop\hackalone.txt", i am hiding hackalone.txt.
• Now, hit enter and your file is now hidden.


Steps to unhide:
• Go to Command Prompt (CMD)
• Then type the following code (Copy the code, right click at cmd window, then paste), 
  Code:
  attrib -s -h "Full path of folder"
  Change "Full path of folder" with your file path, for example: "C:\Users\H4CK3R\Desktop\hackalone.txt", i am unhiding hackalone.txt.

Your file is back again. Please remember, both code are different. The sign are changed (+ is changed into -). As i already said at the start, direct link to that file will open that file. For example: hackalone.txt file is hidden but if you will paste this C:\Users\H4CK3R\Desktop\hackalone.txt in my computer location bar and hit enter, this will open hackalone.txt.
