In our daily work, we hide / unhide our important documents, etc. frequently. It becomes a lengthy task to open a file Properties each time and enable "Hidden" option. Suppose you have one or 2 file in 100 folders which you want to hide. Then you'll have to hide them one by one in each folder.
So here I'm giving a ready-made registry code which will add "Hide File" and "Unhide File" options in every file context menu (menu which appears when you right-click on a file):
To Add "Hide File" option:
Download following file, extract it and then run the extracted .REG file. It'll ask for confirmation, accept it and you have done.
To Add "Unhide File" option:
Download following file, extract it and then run the extracted .REG file. It'll ask for confirmation, accept it and you have done.

^^ Open regedit and goto:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\
Under this key, delete "Hide File" and "Unhide File" keys.
