In some cases, users need to hide some files and folders from prying eyes. This can be done in various ways, both using Windows tools and using third-party programs.
Instructions
Step 1
If you have several user accounts registered on your computer with different rights, simply revoke the rights of those of them whom you do not want to allow access to information to read the required folders.
Step 2
If the computer operates under the same account, you can make some files and folders hidden by setting this attribute in the properties of the required files and folders. At the same time, do not forget to uncheck the "show hidden files and folders" checkbox in the Windows Explorer settings, if it is there.
Step 3
The safest way to hide files and folders is by using third-party programs like Hide Folders. The program allows you to completely hide folders and files from all users, access to them is possible only after they are unlocked in the program with the introduction of a password if necessary.
