The file is found on search. But, you said that it couldn't even be found if someone does a search??

For Linux you put a period in front of the folder name.
but this time use [Ctrl] + 'H' to show them

umm well it is still pretty easy to locate... just open an explorer window and goto
Tools > Folder Options...
> View > Click show hidden files and folders | also check show hidden system files and folders.

There

Is there a way to make this like naming a folder with .something on mac? This isn't immediately apparent to the normal user, but anyone with sufficient system knowledge could find it.

I'm sorry, It's just useless if I can still see it in Windows Explorer.

C0d3r Thanks for the comment. But, still the hidden folder is not revealed which is created by the user. Only system folders are revealed. So, your folder is still in privacy.

Its basically not a trick imho.. atleast not different than setting the hidden option in the properties box... the only thing is that adding a system property will not reveal the folder on simply "show hiden files" option, unless the "show system files" option is alos checked.

The file/folder will be visible if you select "show system files" in Explorer's folder view options no matter what the attributes are. This is useful for hiding stuff from someone with only basic computer knowledge but don't think your IT department can't find it. They can.

@Ashfame It do reveal the hidden system files. But not the folder, which contains all your private data. ;) Enjoy

If you issue the command "dir /s" you can still see the all the files and folders that under the hidden parent directory. Is there a workaround for this? Thanks

Just for information, the file/folder can be seen with certain application like acdsee 8.0 or higher, filezilla...

Hey thanks for sharing that info Ash!

This trick also applies on files. Just make sure you hide your file in an unknown folder and that too on the drive on which Windows is installed. Let me explain. Lets assume you have windows installed in drive C so I can type attrib D:*.* -h -s -r /s and attributes(system, hidden, read only) of all files on Drive D will be removed.

This way your hidden file will be revealed. You wouldn't want to execute that command on Drive C. Now would you? ;)

You can still use the attrib command to search, albeit slowly, for hidden folders/files.
