You always wanted to hide your personal and confidential data from unknown or strangers eyes but using any software may charge you, here is a trick from which you can easily hide your content.

Follow the steps:

Step 1: First create the folder in the drive you want to hide.

Example: Creating XYZ folder in F: drive.

Step 2: Now put your all required hiding content in this folder.

gs 's' and 'h'. Example: Now again open RUN and reverse the command “attrib -s -h F:\XYZ”.
