Completely Hiding Folders and Files
Method 1 (Folders Only)

* Right click on any folder and rename.
* Switch off numlock.
* Hold the left alt key and type 0160 from the numpad.
* Click anywhere and the name field on the folder will be blank.
* Now go to its properties and change its icon to a blank one.

The Folder will become invisible. Incase of files you can only give a blank name field and not icon.

Method 2 (Files and Folders)

This method involves use of some basic programming in .bat

OPEN NOTEPAD AND TYPE THE GIVEN LINES

1. Hide Folders

* attrib +h +r +s "E:\Music"

2. Hide Files

* attrib +h +r +s "E:\Music\Lonely.mp3"

3. Hide All FILES Inside a Folder

* attrib +h +r +s "E:\Music\*.*"

Save the file as filename.bat and run it to hide whatever you want to.

* By replacing the '+' with '-' you can reverse this.
* The attrib command refers to attributes.
* h, r, s denote hidden ,read-only, and system attributes respectively.
* "*.*" command will apply to all FILES (NOT FOLDERS) inside the specified folder .
