Most of the time we keep files on our computers that we don't want anyone else to see. How can we not let other people see it? Many friends use a special encryption file to encrypt the file, in fact, not so much trouble, we can not use Third-party software, directly with the system itself can complete the role of secrecy.
First, right-click on a folder that needs to be kept confidential, select Properties, and "Hide" the selection in the Open Properties window (Figure 1). Then open My Computer, select "tools → folder Options → view" On the menu bar, and select "Do not show hidden files and folders" in the hidden files and folders in the Advanced settings (Figure 2). OK, the hidden file we just set up is not visible.
But as long as you choose "Show All Files and folders", the hidden files can not be seen again? That is true. But don't worry, you can modify the registry so that even if you select Show all files and folders, hidden files are not displayed. Click the Start menu, select Run, and then in the Run dialog box, enter regedit, open Registry Editor, and open HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \software in the left window \microsoft\windows \ CurrentVersion \explorer\advanced The \folder\hidden\showall branch, and then double-click the CheckedValue key value entry in the right-hand window to modify its key value to "0", if there is no such value, You can create a new "DWORD value" named "CheckedValue" and then modify its value to "0", then quit Registry Editor, restart your computer, and then you will find that the file set to "hidden" properties can be completely invisible.
