How to make a folder hidden and unsearchable?
Hey! I had an external hard drive on which I had an hidden and unsearchable folder on it. Everything was working well. I was using 1 bat file to hide it, and one bat file to show it. However, a few days ago, I dropped it on the ground and it's dead(the head is literally destroyed ). Now that I'm trying to make another folder hidden and unsearchable on another external hard drive, it's not working! Here is what my bat files do:
hide.bat
show.batCode:@echo off cd G:\Fichier\Test\config\fonts attrib +s +h "Test Files" \*.* /S /D attrib +s +h "Test Files" EXIT
My folder "Test Files" is located at "G:\Fichier\Test\config\fonts\Test Files".Code:@echo off cd G:\Fichier\Test\config\fonts attrib -s -h "Test Files" \*.* /S /D attrib -s -h "Test Files" EXIT
When I run the bat file, it hides it and everything but when I try to search for something, it still shows up! It shows up all of the files inside the folder I had just hidden. I went in the folder options and disabled the option to show hidden files and it still shows everything inside. From what I remember, last time I had it checked to "Show hidden files" on my other drive and I still couldn't see it or search for what was inside of it!
Thank you very much for any help! I appreciate it :)
