Remember that most users should keep hidden files hidden. If you need to show hidden files for whatever reason, it's best to hide them again when you're done using them.
Using a free file search tool like Everything is another way to view hidden files and folders. Going this route means you won't need to make any changes to settings in Windows, but you also won't be able to see the hidden items in a regular Explorer view. Instead, just search for them and open them through the search tool.
To hide a file is as straightforward as right-clicking or tap-and-hold on touch screens the file and choosing Properties , followed by checking the box next to Hidden in the Attributes section of the General tab. If you've configured hidden files to show, you'll see that the newly hidden file's icon is a bit lighter than non-hidden files. This is an easy way to tell which files are hidden and which aren't.
Hiding a folder is done similarly via the Properties menu except that, when you confirm the attribute change, you're asked if you want to apply the change to that folder only or to that folder plus all of its subfolders and files. The choice is yours and the result is just as clear as it seems. The other option is used to hide both the folder and all of the data inside of it, including any subfolders and subfolder files.
Unhiding a specific file or folder can be done using the same steps mentioned above. So, if you're unhiding a folder full of hidden items and choose to just turn off the hidden attribute for that folder only, then any files or folders inside it will remain hidden.
Replace hidden with nohidden to unhide the folder or file. While it's true that turning on the hidden attribute for a sensitive file will make it "invisible" to the regular user, you shouldn't use it as a means to safely hide your files from prying eyes. Instead, a true file encryption tool or full disk encryption program is the way to go. Although you can't see hidden files under normal circumstances, it doesn't mean that they suddenly no longer take up disk space. In other words, you can hide all the files you want to reduce visible clutter but they will still take up room on the hard drive.
Some antivirus software may prohibit changing the attributes of critical hidden system files. If you're having trouble toggling a file attribute on or off, you might try temporarily disabling your antivirus program and see if that resolves the problem.
Some third-party software like My Lockbox can hide files and folders behind a password without using the hidden attribute, which means it's pointless in those situations to try toggling the attribute off in order to see the data. Of course, this is also true for file encryption programs. A hidden volume on a hard drive that's storing secret files and folders that are hidden away from view and only accessible through a decryption password, cannot be opened simply by changing the hidden attribute.
Create a new folder whose file name begins with a dot. Since these folders always become hidden, I suggest we could enable security auditing to the problematic folders, please check the below steps: 1.
Click start and run "secpol. Enable the Audit object access for "Success" and "Failure". Go to Auto Hidden files and folders, right click the folder and select properties. Go to Security Page and click Advanced. Click Auditing and Edit. Click add, type everyone in the Select User, Computer, or Group.
Choose Apply onto: This folder, subfolders and files. Tick on the boxes both "Write attributes" and "Write extended attributes" Click OK. Only the shared folders got hidden?? This topic has been locked by an administrator and is no longer open for commenting.
