How TO - hidden folders.

Hi,

In This guide i will teach you how to make hidden files, Any basic user can do this and should already know this.

Hidden files can help alot, from hiding ..images.. to hiding passwords that are in text documents!

This will hide your File/image/textdoc, But the downfall is, you have to do it for each individual item.

There is no step-by-step pictures in this guide, instead, there's an animated GIF, patiences thought because its very slow.

This way is WAY better then changing the icon and renaming the file, because anyone with some brain's could easily find that file. especially if it was placed on the desktop, where all they'd have to do is take they're cursor, click down, and drag it across the screen.


%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

Step.1: Left Click anywhere's on your desktop backround, Move your cursor down to "new", A menu will appear. select folder, textdoc, etc.



step.2: Name your folder, or whatever it may be.

step.3: Left click your folder.
Step.4: Click properties.



step.5.: Click "hiddin" which should be found in the lower part of the screen.
step 6.: Click OK.



And your file has now been hidden!
(please note, this is just giving you the basic idea on how to hide a folder/file, You wouldn't have to create anything because this can be done with any file\folder\image.)

Refer to the animated image on how to make your folder visable again.

Hey Eric.

Try this. http://media-convert.com/

Just Browse the Video You wan't.

Turn the OutPut Formatt into Gif.

After it's done processing then You have to ReDownLoad it.

Good Luck.

 

tbh, i think most people know how to do this...

and also, you can do larger numbers of things, it doesnt have to be one at a time.

such as if you have a folder filled with different documents, like tax information, irs, all that good stuff, just hide the folder name, and when you go to click "ok" it will ask "hide subfolders and documents?" this makes it so you dont have to go in the folder and do them one at a time.

 

Thanks for telling me, it helped me!

 

oh wow wtf, my guide isnt good enough to be accepted? wow.

 

Trust me, it was'nt.
Anyone whos slightly apt with computers can figure this out.

 

This is a duplicate of another guide posted a while back ~ somone should lock this topic.
