As a Windows end-user, we can use this feature to create a hidden
private file or folder on our Windows computer. Lets say you have a
normal folder named Personal on your desktop, and you want to make it hidden.
To do so, open command prompt, and type the following in it and hit Enter. Here User_name is my Username, so make sure you use yours in its place.
To see it, you have to via Folder Options, check Show hidden files, folders and drives and uncheck Hide protected operating system files. Or via CMD you can simply use “-s -h” instead of the above command.
Ofcourse this method is not fool-proof, but its good enough a way to keep your folders secret and hidden from most prying eyes
