    Hello Saf,

    Yes, you can use the tutorial below to help show you how to hide any file that you like. You will need to make sure that you have Don't Show hidden files, folders, and drives checked in Folder Options though so the hidden files will not still show as faded instead.

    File and Folder - Hide or Unhide

    Hope this helps,
