Hide folders in a different way

No Need of any folder lock or Any Damn Punk Softwares. A simple unknown trick could help you.

Method 1:-

1) Right Click on the desktop and Make a new folder
2) Now rename the folder with a space(U have to hold ALT key and type 0160).
3) Now u have a folder without a name.
4) Right click on the Folder >> Properties >> Customize. Click on change icon.
5) Scroll a bit, u should find some empty spaces, Click on any one of them.
click ok Thats it, now u can store ur personal data without any 3rd party tools.


Method:2

1) U can also hide ur folder by dis method:- Open Start >> Run >> CMD 
2) Now type attrib +a +s +h C:/name of d folder u want to hide(Path of the Directory).
  Eg. attrib +a +s +h C:/Program Files/New Folder

3) Now even in the folder option even if Show all Hidden folders is selected still u wont be able to see dis folder.
Reason:- It is because the directory will get the attribute of a system file.

4) To unhide the same folder.
i) Type same command just put "-" instead of "+" .
Eg:-  attrib -a -s -h C:/Program Files/New Folder

2.Go to Tools >> Folder Options >> View and uncheck the Hide Protected operating system files.
Thats it, you can retrieve it back
