How do hide folder in windows 7?

Answer 1

This isn't techy. It's pretty simple. If it's a whole folder, this is a simple technique.

Step One: Create a new desktop folder.

Step Two: Name it something normal (I named mine 'Children' since I have many cousins who are little and use my computer often)

Step Three: Create multiple folders inside the new folder. Make sure you name them with titles that would make sense to be in that folder. (Like for me: 'Coloring pages')

Step Four: Select each folder and fill it with sensible contents (This isn't required, but it helps in case some one decides to open them)

Step Five: Pick a folder.

Step Six: Put at least three new folders in that folder.

Step Seven: If you want extra security go on. If not, then add your folder. Rename it something normal. (Like for me: 'Ducks')

Step Eight: Extra-security. Don't add the folder yet! Add a new one and then follow Step Seven's instructions.
