This is my second instructable. This one is totally different from my previous post...

In this esteemed instructable i'll be guiding you to hide a folder by using cmd.. Even the folder option method won't be able to track the hidden folder

You'll need
1. Windows based operating system

Step 1: Run Command Prompt and Basic Text Commands

There are several methods to run cmd.. Some of them are listed below

1. Start -> Run -> Cmd
2. Starrt -> Program Files -> Accessories - > Command Prompt

Command Prompt is a newer version of Dos and other os similar to that.. In order to fulfill your needs to hide a folder you must atleast know some basic commands ...

Cd - navigates through a folder
Md - creates a folder
Dir - Directory list
Attrib - provides with various attrib features
