How Do You Hide Files In Windows?
• Select the folder or file you would like to hide, and right click on it. • Select ‘Properties’ from the pop-up menu that appears. • Check the ‘Hidden’ check box located in the Attributes section, then click on ‘OK’. Right click on an empty space where the file or folder you chose to be hidden, and select ‘Refresh’ from the pop-up menu. If you have done the previous steps correctly, you will no longer see the file. • Open any Windows Explorer window and select Tools->Folder Options from the menu bar. • Select the ‘View’ tab. Then scroll down and make sure that ‘Show hidden files and folders’ is selected. Click ‘Apply’, and ‘OK’, and now you will be able to see all hidden files on your computer, denoted with a transparent icon, rather than a fully opaque one.
