How To Hide Folders On Your Computer

Hello people,
today we are going to see how you can hide your folders from curious eyes.

STEP 1
First, right click on a folder (or icon) and select "Properties".
Then check in the "Hidden" checkbox.
Click "Apply".

















STEP 2
Click "Organize" and then click "Folder and Search Options"














STEP 3
Click on the "View" card and then check "Do not show hidden files and folders". Then, click "Apply".

















You are done! To unhide the folder, just reverse the procedure!
NOTE: This is for VISTA, i presume that is more-less the same for WIN 7.
