-----------------------






FOR FOLDER:-
If we change the properties of the folder to hidden (right click on the folder- >properties- >tick hidden)
Then properties of the folder become hidden. But if show hidden files & folder is enable (folder option- > view- >hidden files & folder - > tick show hidden files & folder) then it shows that folder.
But anyone search in the search box can easily  find the content of that folder. So this process is not useable.

PROCESS - 1:-

“recycler” – it is a folder which is hidden and unsearchable.
Its location just inside the drive except c: (windows installation drive)      
Only type “d:\recycler” (excluding quotes) in the address bar it opens a folder with name “recycler” in d drive. You Can also change the drive letter. Put your data there & come out. It don’t show anything in d Drive and no one can search the contents.

To reach that folder “recycler” only way is type the address in the address bar i.e. d:\recycler or any other drive letter in place of d.

PROCESS - 2:-

This process is more reliable than process 1.

Create a folder with any name anywhere inside your system.
Then change the attribute of the folder to hidden and unsearchable by command prompt.
Suppose there is a folder named “trickmaker” inside the folder “rock” in d: drive. We have to make hidden and  Unsearchable to that folder using command “attrib +s +h” in command prompt.

Step1:-
Open command prompt (window logo key + R- > type “cmd”- > hit enter)
E.g.- It will display the command prompt screen- C :\>

Step2:-
Type  attrib +s +h [folder path] ->hit enter
E.g.- c :\> attrib +s +h d:\rock\trickmaker
This will make the folder “trickmaker” hidden and unsearchable

NOTE:-
1. We can reach the content of that folder by typing the full path of the folder (i.e. d:\rock\trickmaker) in the Address bar.
2. For change its attribute to unhidden and searchable use the command attrib “–s –h” in step2.
E.g.- C :\> attrib -s -h d:\rock\xxx

NOTE:-

1.  +s- makes the attribute of the file & folder to unsearchable.
2.  +h- makes the attribute of the file & folder to hidden.
3.  –s- makes the attribute of the file & folder to searchable.
4.  –h- makes the attribute of the file & folder to un hidden.
