To hide files/folders - Using CommandPrompt

Procedure to hide the files/folders without using any software

I provided screenshots also, for beginners.

Suppose you want to hide the folder “Sample” which is in your E: drive.
So, open command prompt typing “cmd” in the “run” from Windows start menu.
Now change the drive typing “ E: ” and then press enter.

Type the command replacing the ‘filename/folder name’ with the name of the file or folder which you want to hide.

attrib filename/folder name +s +h

Now it will not be shown.
Windows explorer even if you have changed the setting.
Now to unhide the file you have to type the command.

attrib filename/folder name –s –h

Note: 

• You should remember which file or folder you have hidden. 
• After hiding the file or folder with the above process there is no way to browse it without knowing the name
