Create a Hidden Unsearchable Folder

For any security purpose you may need to hide the files of folders.You can easily hide them and make them unsearchable

Press "win key+r" or go to start->run. Type command or cmd to open command prompt. Go to the folder you need to hide.Say you need to hide folder "blogger" inside d: . Then type "cd d:\blogger "and hit enter.Then type attrib +h +s .In above command the attrib command sets the attribut of the folder to hidden and unsearchable.Now type "exit" to exit the command prompt.
If you want the folder to be unhidden then type "attrib -h" and for searchable type -s instead of -h or for both type "attrib -h -s"
