Windows 7 trick-Hide ANY file or FOLDER

Talking about windows tips and tricks this on is going to be by far the best post i Have made so far.

In this post I will show you how to hide any file,folder(windows-hide your drive and How to use command prompt t0 hide files and folders have already been covered) in a jpg image.

Just test this thing out as you read this post and test this for your self-you will be surprised by the results.

So lets begin.

Best way to hide files and folders in windows 7,vista,xp.

Note:-you will need winrar(preferred) or winzip to do this trick.

Make a folder named whatever you want in your C drive-I have named mine “hide”.

Now put a jpg image this folder and the files that you want to hide.

Now select the files that you want to hide(leave out the jpg image) and right click.

Select add to archive and name it whatever you want I have named it hide.rar.

You folder should look something like this now:-

my folder

my folder

Now open your command prompt and type in “CD \”(without quotes) and hit enter.

Type CD / And hit enter

Type CD / And hit enter

Next type CD and the directory name for me it will be “CD Hide”(without quotes).

Type CD Hide and hit enter

Type CD Hide and hit enter

Now is the most important and our magic trick:-

Type in

“copy /b shoaib.JPG + Hide.rar shoaib.jpg”(again no quotes)

and press Enter

You will get a response like this:-

windows files hidden in jpg image

windows files hidden in jpg image

Points to remember:-

No quotes in the commands.

Remember the extension of your archive-.rar or .zip

Now check the size of the image,it should have increased by the size of your archive.

Have a look at the size of my jpg image :-)

huge jpg image

huge jpg image

You can delete the original folder now.

To see your files that are hidden inside the image just change the extension of the image from .jpg to .rar,right click and extract the file thats it.
