But, still anyone can open that folder for example If hidden folder is on desktop, one can go to cmd -> change dir to desktop and then keep hitting tab - till you get a folder which is not appearing on desktop UI. So this method can only hide but cannot prevent other from accessing it. Hi,

You can hide a folder using file properties or cmd attribs

you can also disable the "Show Hidden files/folders" option in "Tools -> Folder Options".

But, still anyone can open that folder

for example If hidden folder is on desktop, one can go to cmd -> change dir to desktop and then keep hitting tab - till you get a folder which is not appearing on desktop UI.

So this method can only hide but cannot prevent other from accessing it.
