Hidden Folder PNG


A common question asked by the beginner is how to hide a file or folder. Hiding a file or folder means you don't want others to have access in that particular file or folder. For example- You don't let your little brother access your games folder as I do normally! Or you may have any other private reason. For example- You don't want others to see a file which contains your online accounts information. 

Most of the PC users know how to hide or unhide a file. But some of you may not know this. For those guys I'm gonna write about this.

  2. Right click on the file or folder you wanna hide and choose Properties
  3. Mark the Hidden option and hit OK
  4. That's it. Your selected file is now hidden.
