Hide folders under Win XP system

Some old players may remember that under DOS
, we can use PCtools to modify the last few bytes of the directory in the file partition table to hide the directories we don't want others to see, at least with the DIR/AH command. I can't see it, but under NC (norton commander) and DN (DOS Navtigator), such hidden directories are also invisible. And if you defragment your hard drive during this time, the files in this directory will be lost.

Now we have worked in Win 2000, Win XP below, how to do this work?

HideFolder Now! For Win2000, WinXP is the easiest and most effective hidden folder tool I have ever seen. It works quite well under FAT32 and NTSF partitions, and it is so easy to use. Let's see.

First download HideFolder Now! at www.laddersoft.com! For Win 2000, Win XP,

The minimum system requirements for this software are:

IBM compatible PC

Win 2000 or Win XP operating system (not supported Win 98/me)

3M free hard disk space
A window will appear when you use it for the first time after installation. One:
Figure 1
Here you need to set the access password, at least 6 characters or numbers, note: the password entered here will be needed every time you visit HideFolder Now!, and this is your use of HideFolder The only thing you need to keep in mind during Now!

OK, after setting the password, we enter the main window of HideFolder Now!, as shown in Figure 2

Figure 2
It is so simple, click the Add button to hide the files you need to hide The folder is added to the list box, and the folder will remain hidden until you select them again and then click the Unhide button.

Readers may wish to try it for themselves. It is very convenient. It is worth mentioning that hidden folders are not visible on the hard disk unless you choose not to hide them. They are not visible in the resource manager. The use of DIR/AH in the DOS
window is also invisible, and even software such as Window Commander is invisible. What's more, even if you defragment your hard drive, you don't have to worry about losing your hidden files.

again need to remind readers that we must remember the password you set, otherwise you may never hidden file on the hard disk of.
