Hide files on Windows
You can hide them so that not everyone can immediately discover your files and folders. How this works and how you can find the file later, we show you in this article.
How to hide files on Windows
- Right-click on a file and open the "Properties" in the context menu.
- Under the "General" tab you will find the so-called "Attributes". Here you have to select "hidden" and confirm with "Ok". The file is no longer visible.
- In order to make the hidden files visible again, you have to open the "Folder Options" in the Control Panel> Display> "Show all hidden files and folders".
The instructions are based on Windows 7, but differ only slightly from Windows 8 and previous versions.
