  • First of all create a folder
  • Go to command prompt
  • To hide the file here is the code type in the cmd
    Code:
    attrib +s +h "Full path of folder"

    Example I have created a folder name Top secret in my desktop for that code is
    capturedn.png

  • Now the file is hidden . Even if you enable show hidden files and folder from Folder option also the file will be hidden.
  • To reveal the hidden file here is the code type in the cmd
    Code:
    attrib -s -h "Full path of folder"
 
I know this Trick Before And tried to apply it By watching Videos and Tutorials , No one has Explained like you did and you made it work.

I tried it, it does hide it, but I have show hidden and it does appear.

Try to include additional attributes: +r and +a

The complete code to hide folder will be:
Code:
attrib +r +a +s +h "Full path of folder"

and to reveal folder:
Code:
attrib -r -a -s -h "Full path of folder"
