This is a continuation of my previous post 'How to hide a file/folder in windows 7?', which was a very basic method for hiding files/folders in windows . But their is a drawback with this method ,this files can be easily seen if we select show hidden files,folders and drive . A slightly lengthy method but more affective way is as follows
- First follow the procedure of previous post
- Now disable the Folder Options from registry so that no one can unhide them.For this follow the steps
- Press 'Windows+R' . Run window appears.Type regedit and enter. Following window appears
- Now browse down to 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Current Version\Policies\Explorer'.
- Right click in the window select New>DWORD (32 bit) Value as shown.
- Name it as NoFolderOptions and set its value to 1.
- Restart the pc for registry to reinitialize . Thus folder option is disabled.(check it)...
