Sometimes,
you need to keep files on your computer that you just don't want other people
to see. Whether it's a gift list or something else, hiding files is easy.
Here's how to do it.
Level 1: Use Hidden Folders
If
you just need to tuck some files away from prying eyes then using your
computer's built-in hidden folders is an easy way to do it. This won't really
hide files from someone who knows what they're doing, but it will make them
invisible so people don't stumble across them. Think of it as the digital
equivalent of hiding things under your mattress
Hiding
files in Windows is pretty easy:
Select the files or folders you want to hide
Ø Right-click
and choose Properties
Ø Click
the General tab
Ø Click
the checkbox next to Hidden in the Attributes section
Ø Click
Apply
Now
the files you chose are hidden away and people won't see them when they're
looking through your folders. When you need to find those files again, just
turn Hidden Items on.
