Hiding a file on your computer is as easy as almost any task you will have to do. It can be done in two simple steps and doesn’t take much knowledge at all to be able to do so. By hiding files with the technique I’m about to share with you it will make it so only you can ever view the file. It can be necessary sometimes too keep things confidential and this is where hiding your files will come in handy.

 1. Open a Notepad and write down
       @echo off
        cls
        attrib +r +h +s drive:\WRITE THE LOCATION OF FILE.file extension
        exit

        Suppose your file location is drive C: , and your file name is a.txt, then type this:
        @echo off
        cls
        attrib +r +h +s C:\a.txt
        exit

2.   Save it as bat file (ex. hide.bat)

3.   Run it

When you want to view the file you will need to do the following:

1.  Open a Notepad and write down
     @echo off
      cls
      attrib -r -s -h drive:\WRITE THE LOCATION OF FILE.file extension
      exit
      (just replace the “+” sign before r, s and h of previous code with a “-” sign ) 

2.   Save it as bat file(ex. show.bat)

3.   Run it

You won’t need to install any special programs or anything to be able to utilize your hidden files. It can be done by anybody and very easily as you can see above. The file will only be shown by the Show System File method but nobody will suspect the file to be its own system and they also won’t know the name of the document. The name of the file will act of your password when viewing it in hidden mode as well.
