This method can hide a folder from the smarter people in the computer side of things, but they will figure it out eventually. I mean, there is a search button.

This requires that you are running a HOTKEY listening explorer (XP does it, so does serv 2003 and serv 2008, I don't know what other OS's do.)

1. On your keyboard, hit Win+R (Windows Key & R)
2. Type in "%SystemRoot%\System32\" and click OK.
3. In this folder, create a new folder, REMEMEBR IT'S NAME.
4. Open notepad and copy the below code into it (change path).
[ciode]@echo off
start explorer.exe "%SystemRoot%\System32\FOLDER_NAME\"[/code]

5. Go to File -> Save As... and type in `.bat as it's name.
6. Change the file type to "All Files" (From TXT) ans save.
7. Move this new file into your windows folder.
8. Make a shortcut of this file on your desktop.
9. Right click the shortcut, and go to properties.
10. FOLLOW METHOD 1 TO MAKE IT INVISIBLE
11. Go to the first tab (shortcut0 and make a Shortcut Key.

Now when you hit that shortcut key, you will be directed to that folder of yours. If you want to hide this folder even better, you can follow a few easy steps below to do it.

1. Repeat Step 1 As Above.
2. Type in CMD and hit enter.
3. Type in "CD %SystemRoot%"
4. Type in "CD System32
5. Now type the following line of code (CHANGE PATH)
Code:
attrib -r +s -a +h "FOLDER_NAME"

--

This folder is now system and hidden, and will be slightly harder to find.
 
all your doing is attrib +S... might as well just create a folder anywhere this isn't programming its a basic console command..
