In this Instructable, I will show you how to hide files inside a picture file. They are almost undetectable, and can be made very hard to get.
You will need these things:
1) A picture to hide stuff in
2) Files to be hidden
3) A file compression software (I use 7-zip, which you can get here)
4) Command Prompt
UPDATE
You can not only hide files in pictures, but music files, videos, and just about anything else.

Signing UpStep 1Compressing the Files
The first thing you will do is make a new folder on the C drive. I will call this folder "x". Inside this folder, place the files to be hidden and the picture that will hide everything. The picture that will hide everything in it cannot have any spaces in the name, so I called it "Picture".

This must be why most sites have a limit of 2MB (like facebook) when you're uploading photos. People could store pirated software in a simple photo, upload it to their facebook, and share it with the world.
The syntax should be:
copy /b zipfile + oldfile.ext newfile.ext
and not
copy /b oldfile.ext + zipfile newfile.ext
otherwise you cant get a file archive.
where zipfile is your archived file, oldfile is the old file, and newfile.ext is the file name you want to create.
Hope this helps
PS Most modern freeware archiving programs won't open files without the proper extension. You need to drag the file to the shortcut of 7-Zip or the program you are using and release the mouse button.
HA HA! i got something to work! if someone knows this trick, you can still do it on a BAT (batch) file, and the only way to open it is to press extract on the file! bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

WOO! I am out of breath... lol
the song i used
For example: My iPod nano and my friend's iPod shuffle both have portable 7Zip and portable FireFox on them so we could use those programs on the computers at our old high school where we only had Limited Access accounts.
Microsoft Windows XP Version 5.1.2600
(C) Copyright 1985-2001 Microsoft Corp.
C:\Documents and Settings\John>
this means it is in the folder "John" inside the folder "Documents and settings"
if your "x" folder is in "C:\x"
then you have to navigate to that folder
if you type:
cd..
it will jump up a directory
example:
Microsoft Windows XP Version 5.1.2600
(C) Copyright 1985-2001 Microsoft Corp.
C:\Documents and Settings\John>cd..
C:\Documents and Settings>
it went up a directory, you need to navigate to "C:\" if that is when you placed your folder, so im my case i need to "cd.." one more time
Microsoft Windows XP Version 5.1.2600
(C) Copyright 1985-2001 Microsoft Corp.
C:\Documents and Settings\Boys>cd..
C:\Documents and Settings>cd..
C:\>
now i am in the "C:\" directory and i can type
cd x
and it will find the "x" folder
if you are in a different drive that the one that you placed your folder
for example CMD prompt says:
Microsoft Windows XP Version 5.1.2600
(C) Copyright 1985-2001 Microsoft Corp.
D:\Kristy Documents>
and you need to be in the "C:" drive (or vice versa)
you need the type:
CHDIR /d C:
which will change drives to "C:\"
what it looks like in CMD:
Microsoft Windows XP Version 5.1.2600
(C) Copyright 1985-2001 Microsoft Corp.
D:\Kristy Documents>CHDIR /d C:
C:\>
now it is in the C drive and you can type:
cd x
and it will find the "x" folder
if none of these work type:
CHDIR /d C:\x
which could jump you straight to the folder
i know this is done in XP but it should work the same way
hope this helps
