Win 7 is a virtual hard disk file "hidden"

  
. There are many tutorials on the network to guide users how to camouflage files or folders to hide private files from being easily detected. It is true that for private files on computers, especially public computers, how to hide them and even encrypt them is a headache for users.
Users using Windows 7 have a very good function. This function can help users to virtualize a hard disk. Users only need to save private files in this virtual hard disk, and they can achieve the purpose of "hidden" files. You can even encrypt this virtual hard disk with unbreakable BitLocker encryption to ensure data security and see how it works.
First of all, we have to create a virtual hard disk first, the operation is "start → search → diskmgmt.msc", after entering the disk management operation interface.

Select “Menu → Operation & Rarr; Create VHD” in the "Disk Management" interface. In the pop-up "Create and attach virtual hard disk" interface, the "Location" option is the file storage location used by the virtual hard disk (this virtual hard disk is actually a vhd file, no matter how many files the user stores in this virtual hard disk. , are all merged and stored in this vhd file.). "Virtual disk format" is divided into "dynamic expansion" (automatically expand the vhd file size with the file size stored inside) "fixed size" (limited storage file capacity for user-set size).

After successfully creating a virtual hard disk, the user can find the virtual hard disk in the "Disk Management" interface. The first thing to do is to initialize it and initialize it before using the virtual hard disk. This is the same as the real hard drive. The specific operation is "virtual hard disk icon → right-click menu → initialize disk".

Similarly, this virtual hard disk also needs to be partitioned and formatted before it can be used. (virtual hard disk area → right-click menu → new simple volume & rarr; next → input partition capacity & rarr; next & rarr; next & rarr; choose to format this volume & rarr; next & rarr; completed).

After the above steps, the user creates a virtual hard disk, and the user can store his private file to the virtual hard disk as usual.

Some netizens will ask, this virtual hard disk, all users can access, then how to achieve the purpose of confidentiality?
When the user stores the private file to this virtual hard disk, you need to leave the computer When you can use this virtual hard disk "offline" (in the "disk management" interface "dual hard disk icon → right-click menu & rarr; offline"), this will not appear in my computer The virtual hard disk, when the user needs to use, then select this virtual hard disk "online" can be.

More confidential, you can choose to separate VHD”. In the “Disk Management” interface, “Virtual Hard Disk Icon & Rarr; Right-Click Menu & Rarr; Separate VHD” (Do not select the option to delete the virtual hard disk after deleting the disk, otherwise the files you stored in the virtual hard disk will be wiped out. ), this way, I can't see this virtual hard disk in the disk management interface. When the user needs to use, select “Add VHD" (in the "Disk Management" interface“Menu → Operation & Rarr; Attach VHD→ Browse to find the virtual hard disk file”).
For the vhd file corresponding to the virtual hard disk, the user can store it to various places of the real hard disk, and even rename it to the Windows directory, such as "xinstall.dll", so that You can hide it in the ocean of Windows files, no one will easily find this file, you have to be very familiar with the Windows system. Of course, you can remember this file name, and when you need it, rename it to (*.vhd) and you can use it.


































You can choose to encrypt this virtual hard disk with BitLocker Get your virtual hard disk vhd file, and you can't open the private file stored in it without a password.
