How do i make a folder invisible without using the conventional show/hide method of folder options?
You can’t really make it invisible, but you can make it inaccessible to other users, just by restricting the permissions with the Security tab on the Properties dialog. Then you will be the only person who has access to the folder, everyone else will get “Access denied”. Obviously you need to lock your desktop every time you leave the computer unattended while others are around for this to work. You should never share a desktop with another user if you have anything personal on the computer.
