Make file invisble

[vaibhavtek]

Hi Friends,

By following this tutorial u can make ur file invisible to everyone but visible to u. :shock:

Just follow:-
-------------------------------
If you want to hide a file that no one can see the file except you, here is the process.:-

1. Open a notepad and write down
@echo off
cls
attrib +r +h +s drive:\WRITE THE LOCATION OF FILE.file extension
exit
2. save it as bat file(ex. hide.bat)
3.Run it

To show the hidden files:-

1.Open a notepad and write down
@echo off
cls
attrib -r -s -h drive:\WRITE THE LOCATION OF FILE.file extension
exit
2.Save it as bat file(ex. show.bat)
3.Run it

Note:-It cannot be viewed by folder option > "Show Hidden Files"; this tip is the great point of this tutorial. :shock:

But will be shown by "Show System File" but no one will know that ur file is a system file.
---------------------------------
Please reply whether u like this tut. or not.:rolleyes:

It's not working for me. I have the following thing. I made a text doc named a.txt in my C:\ and tried to hide it with the following code.

@echo off
cls
attrib +r +h +s drive:\C:\a.txt
exit

and saved it as a.bat and ran the same but nothing happened dude.

Type this:-

@echo off
cls
attrib +r +h +s C:\a.txt
exit


drive letter in my tut says location of the drive and ur file location is C:

Hope u understand what i mean.

@DR RANJAN

it cannot be viewed by folder option; this is the great point of this tutorial.
Just try it and then reply ur views.

[passion_unlimitedd]

[vaibhavtek]

ya
if we enable "Show Hidden Files" then it doesnot but if we enable "Show system file" then it.
but no one will know that ur file is a system file.

nick trick. Wi\onder if it will work with just the +s

[gagandeep]

We can do the same by going to the folder which contains the file we want to hide using Command Prompt and then typing:

attrib +r +h +s abcdefg.xyz

or Simply

attrib +r +h +s PATH

dont mean to ruin ur roll but this is a lame and old 'trick'.

not even a trick. it has been there since the dos days.
you wont believe how many variants of this exist on the net.
like the Alt+255 variant, the file.{GUID} variant, the permission variant and so on n on n on.. all to hide a file using some command line :)
