X-Cannon Posted September 11, 2004 Report Share Posted September 11, 2004 Is there a way in which you can hide a folder that you don't want others to ever see and they think doesn't exist but you can access it when ever you want easily like going to Start, Run and typing the command for it e.g. C:Blabla ?

maxdog4 Posted September 11, 2004 Report Share Posted September 11, 2004 There are many possibilities. First, what type data are you trying to hide? Alpha-numeric is easier to hide than others, say Mpegs. There are loads of encryption utilities available for free that will do what you want... just seargh Google for *free encryption utilities*. XP home/Pro has the ability to low-level encrypt/password protect folders via the *Send to compressed Folder* right-click option. Once compressed, look in the *File* pull-down tab, and you will see an option to password protect the contents.... *Note* this does not hide the folder/folder name. Also, Start > Control Panel > (classic view) Folder Options > View Tab > Hidden Files/Folders > View/Do not view button. Then under Right click file *Properties* check/un-check *Hidden* Hope this helps... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
X-Cannon Posted September 11, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2004 There are so many out there I just want to hide a few files such as mp3's mpeg's avi's and txt files so if you guys know of any that are really good or if you have them and want to recommend them that would be great.
