1. First choose the file or folder that you want to make hidden and unsearchable.
2. Then open Command Prompt as an Administrator.
3. Then type attrib +s +h [folder/file path] and hit enter. When you are giving the path of the file then never forget to give the extension of the file. You can choose any file or folder for the process.
Example:
Suppose the file is apple.doc and it is placed in d:\mercenie folder. To make the mercenie folder hidden unsearchable just type c:\>attrib +s +h d:\mercenie and hit enter. If you want o make the apple.doc file hidden unsearchable then c:\>attrib +s +h d:\mercenie\apple.doc and hit enter.
4. That is it. After that you will not able to see that file or folder.
5. To get the file just type the complete address of the file or folder on the address bar. (E.g. Here the address of the file is d:\mercenie\apple.doc and folder is d:\mercenie)
7. If you wish to see the hidden files/folder again as normal files then use attrib -s -h [folder/file path] command.

Note:
+s makes the attribute of the file & folder to system.
+h makes the attribute of the file & folder to hidden.
–s removes the system attribute and makes the file and folder to normal..
–h removes the hidden attribute and makes the file/folder to normal.


Hope may maka pansin :)
