How To Hide Your Folders - increase the privacy of your personal folders

To hide folders you can simply disguise the folders as virtual folders.

Some examples of virtual folders are the Fonts folder, the Recycle Bin, the Control Panel. When you try to open disguised folders, you see the contents of a Recycle Bin or Fonts instead of the real documents stored in the folders.

here's what you'll have to do:

Right-click a folder and select Rename.
Add the following to the folder name “.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}”. Don’t forget the dot.
That’s it. Wasn't it easy to hide folders? When you try to open your hidden folders, you’ll see the contents of Control Panel, not the real documents. If you rename the folders back, you’ll see the documents.

However, this protection is very weak because the “protected” folders are easily accessible in DOS and other operating systems.

If you need strong protection for your folders, try folder guard or other such other softwares, you can download them for free on the net

Wow... I didn't know that way is possible to hide your files. Well it is able to, at least, hide itself and turn it's look into a shortcut for the Control Panel. Basically nothing inside the folder can be seen from Windows Explorer. It is able to hide from many people, even computer geeks, if this method of hiding is not told to many people.

Good code. Probably considered as a Windows cheat, and a working one!

Well that is sort of useful. Hopefully no one will catch on to that though. I have always wanted to password protect a folder I wish you could do that. I might have to search on there. Thanks for the tip I might have to try it some time but now I don't share my computer anymore so it really isn't a big deal.

Imo the best way to "hide" your folders is in plain site. name the folder "starcraft" and move it in with all your games. even through in a starcraft.exe and all the misc. files, then put what you need in a sub folder.

Not many people will dig through every folder on a system analysing exactly whats in it, and by blending in with the crowd it makes what your trying to hide a whole lot harder to make out.

Loads of people are probably going to start hiding their secret files in the system32 folder! That's what I do! ph34r.gif
