Hide Folders using Command Prompt

7. Hide Folders using Command Prompt

While there is an easy way to hide folders on Windows by using the properties pane of the folder and checking the checkbox that says “Hidden”, the method is not very useful as the folders hidden using this method can easily be viewed if the view options are changed to “Show hidden files and folders”, making it a pretty useless feature. However, just like you can hide folders using Terminal on Mac, using this cmd trick, you can hide your folders in such a way that they will be completely hidden, and Explorer won’t be able to display them at all. Simply follow the steps outlined below:

  • Launch Command Prompt, and navigate to the directory where your target folder resides.
  • Type “Attrib +h +s +r folder_name“, replacing the “folder_name” with the name of the folder that you want to hide, and press Enter.

Command Prompt Tricks

  • You can now check that the folder is indeed hidden inside Windows Explorer and can not be seen by anyone.
  • To unhide the folder, you can use the command “Attrib -h -s -r folder_name“.

Command Prompt Tricks

Note: Hidden folders can be viewed using the cmd command “dir /AH”.
