How To Hide And Secure Any Folder

This isn’t like hiding folders in usual way by make it hidden, any one can simply show hidden files and folder in folder setting.

Although this isn’t very secure trick to hide folders but still you can use it

choose the files you want to hide or create new one
now open comman promote window (start/run and type cmd)
now write this command “attrib +s +h D:\hiddenfolder” without quote
make sure to replace “D:\hiddenfolder” with your files name and it’s location on your hard drive

Now check for this folder and it’s hidden, to unhide this folder type this command “attrib -s -h D:\hiddenfolder”

How does this work?
