Hiding awkward files.

[Error404]

I couldn't help but notice the 'hiding porn' thread and peoples general lack of knowledge when it comes to hiding those questionable files.

I've posted this somewhere in a thread before, but I thought I may as well post it again.

Go to your C: drive and right click, make a new folder and give it a name.

Now. Go to start - Run

You'll now have a little bar up, waiting for text.

Type this in exactly

attrib +r +a +s +h c:\foldername

Now go to your C: drive and right click refresh, the folder will disappear. The only way of getting to it now is to type it in at the navigation bar at the top.

If you can't be arsed, I've gone ahead and wrote you a batch script that you can just double click. Once you've done that, just go to your main homedrive and add hiddenstuff to the end of the directory name. Job done.

Hidden from 'Search' function, hidden from 'view hidden files', none deletable until attrib -r is specificed.

Lets make it sticky (Perhaps a Wiki?)

Stickying that might be a pretty good idea. XD

...Though putting it on the wiki as well might be kinda redundant. n.n;

Why, are we a pr0n website?

It's a useful thread, but making it a sticky would be off-topic.
+rep, though.

I don't think the wiki supports file download either, nor would I ask Moo to host it. I guess I could always paste the script in for people to copy into a notepad file.

@Dark - Yeah, I'd say you're right there, make a sticky in 'Computing' under off-topic if anything.

On my old computer, I had a folder entitled "Porn" that I kept on the desktop.

Porn...sticky...oh, the images *shakes head and so the images leave*

And please do put write an article into the Wiki, just don't mention porn but rewrite it with "hiding secret files, like TB stories".

Yeah, I personally don't have any porn. I do have lots of cute TBDL pictures, my desktop is even one, the joys of everyone knowing I guess.

Anyhow, Peachykins, may I please sugguest this be stickied in the computer sub-forum located under off-topic?

Unfortunately it can still be found if people show protected system folders.
