Jump to PostIn Windows Explorer right-click on the folder, select Properties from the drop-down menu, then check the Hidden checkbox. It's not possible to hide them from anyone with Admin rights.
Jump to PostActually, just to clarify, the hidden attribute has no security features. Anyone that has access to the system can display hidden files. If you are interested in securing files and folders, make sure that the drive is formatted as NTFS and assign the appropriate security permissions.
Jump to PostHello,
Are you just after "hiding" files or do you wish to edit sharing of files. You can share files with other users on the computer/network, you can edit this by also right-clicking and select share with nobody, homegroup, specfic users etc...
Otherwise the previous posts should cover the basics …
