Some folders in Windows 10 are hidden from the operating system. Using the same technique used by Windows, you can also hide those folders that you do not want to be seen by others.
The logic behind Windows 10 hiding specific folders is to prevent users from accidentally deleting or modifying them. Of course, for anyone who knows the way, it is easy to reveal all these special system folders that are hidden.
But a third party user, if they do not want to do some very specialized work with Windows 10 folders, will not imagine that there are your own hidden folders and will not mind settings in Explorer to display them. So if you want, you can hide a folder of your own. It is extremely easy to do. See how.
Step 1: Open Windows 10 File Explorer and go to the parent folder from the one you want to hide (ie a folder before).
Step 2A: There are two ways to hide one folder in Windows 10 . You can mark the folder(s) you want and then go to tab View and click the 'Hide Selected Items' button. This will hide your folder. Clicking the same button again will show it again. This works if you want to do a quick hide. However, if you want to hide the folder and also don't want the files inside it to show up in Windows Search, you should use the second method.
Step 2B: Highlight the folder you want to hide. Right-click and select Properties from context menu. In the Properties window, go to the General tab. Select “Hidden” under the properties and then click the “Advanced” button.
A second window will open. In this window, uncheck "Allow files in this folder to have a directory of contents as well as file properties".
Click OK, and then click Apply.
The folder will be hidden and its contents will not appear in the Windows 10 Search area. Its size will still be measured in disk usage, so if you have hidden a particularly large folder and someone is doing the math, they will be able to understand that there is substantial space that has not been recorded.
Step 3: Once you've created a hidden folder, make sure you choose to hide hidden items. You can do this by unchecking the 'Hidden items' checkbox on the View tab in File Explorer.
Η appearance of hidden files in Windows 10 is very easy and so hiding is not going to give you much better safety. But it is a good way to keep your files away from accidental mistakes. If you want to lock other users out of a folder, then prefer her solution protect the folder with a password.
If you create hidden folders, make sure you somehow remember where you created them and where they are located.
Very good work.
Keep us informed.
Very good work
