Hiding Files (Pro Method)

Hey guys, hope you all are doing well today we will be talking about how to hide files that won't show up when you select "show hidden files".
Almost anyone knows how to make a “hidden” folder in Windows, but then again almost anyone knows how to make explorer show hidden folders. Let’s take a look at how to make a folder so hidden, only you will know its there.
1. I made two folders one Test 1 and Test 2. I will be hiding Test 1 the usual method and Test 2 via the new method














2. It will look something like this now let's hide the test 2 folder with the new method
   attrib +s +h "Path address" (quotes included)
  example :- attrib +s +h "C:\Users\Saubhagya\Desktop\Test 2"







3.Let's visit the desktop and see what happens (the show hidden file is still checked that's why you can see Test 1)
















4. That's it that's how you hide the folder now let's see how to unhide it.
    attrib -s -h "Path address"
   example :-  attrib -s -h "C:\Users\Saubhagya\Desktop\Test 2"








5. Once you type this in and hit enter the folder comes up!




















That's it for today guys this is how you hide a folder which isn't visible even when you select show hidden files.
