No software! XP itself features hidden files

There are always some files in the hard disk that you don't want to let others see. You can use some professional encryption tools to achieve the effect of hidden files, but you must install a third-party encryption tool, which seems to be a bit of a fuss. In fact, by taking advantage of the WinXP system's own functions, we can hide files with bare hands.

First trick: Command method

Step1: Press the "Win R" key combination to open the "Run" dialog box, enter "cmd" to open the command prompt window. Then type "md g:jm.." and press Enter to create a new folder named "jm." under the G drive. This folder is the folder we will use to store hidden files.

Step2: Enter the “Run” dialog again, enter the newly created encrypted folder “g:jm..”, and the folder will be opened after hitting the Enter key. Next, just put the files you want to hide into this folder to complete the file hiding.

Now, anyone, including yourself, can't open the folder directly by double-clicking it to open it. Double-clicking will only get an error message box. When you want to open a folder, you can open it by entering the path to the folder in the Run dialog. If you want to delete this folder, just delete all the contents, and then go back to the command prompt window and run "rd g:jm..".

The second trick: parasitic method

If you have an important document that needs to be hidden, disguise it as a double-click to play the song, bypassing others' sight and doubt, 岂Not good!

Step1: Create a new folder and copy the files you need to hide into this folder. Then find the song file and copy it to this folder.

Step2: Relocate the folder where the hidden file is stored in the Explorer, and rename it by pressing the “F2” key. The named rule is: song name. {00020c01-0000-0000 -c000-000000000046}, for example, "Auspicious Sambo. {00020c01-0000-0000-c000-000000000046}". Right-click the mouse to refresh the current screen, the folder just automatically becomes the icon of a song, and double-clicking will automatically start the player to play it. And when you want to open the file yourself, just right click on the song icon and select the "Open" command.

Finally, put this renamed folder in the song folder, no one is likely to find the file you want to hide, but you have to remember clearly, to prevent long time. I even forgot myself.
