Hiding Files and Folders

Hello everyone!
I'm going to show you an easy way to hide files, folders documents, pictures, videos, whatever it is, in your computer so that only you know its there.
First, determine the file or folder you intend to hide.
Next, Right Click on the item (Picture, Video, Folder etc), a menu pops out. Select Properties.

Here we see the properties of the item that we selected. At the bottom of this Tabbed Property Sheet, select the box beside Hidden and click Apply then Ok.

Notice that the item selected blurs out a little. This is how you identify a hidden item in Windows.
That's it!
Now the simple part.
For you to see your hidden files again, we must visit the Control Panel.
Click on the Start Button and select Control Panel.
Double Click on the Folder Options Icon
On the View tab
, select the Radio button beside Show all hidden files and folders.
Return to the location of the file and you'll find it right there unharmed.
Do not fail to go back to the Control Panel and select Do not show all Hidden Files and Folders.
