command prompt by choosing Start -- > Then type in "Search box "
as cmd and press ENTER.
2. The
command prompt window opens. You have to specify the location of the drive.
3. If the
folder you wanna hide is present in D drive, then type as d: (d colon) and press enter.
4. Now enter
the command as below :

you click the radio button (show all hidden files folders and drives option )in
folder options dialog box, the folder won’t be shown. That's it and you are
done. !

you want the folder back to be shown, you have to give the command as...
