How do I mark files as hidden on a Windows computer via the command line?

Output

To mark files as hidden on Windows using the command line, you can use the "attrib" command. Here's how: 1. Open Command Prompt (cmd) 2. Use the following syntax: 

1
attrib +h filename
Examples: 
 1
 2
 3

# Hide a single file
attrib +h "myfile.txt"

# Hide multiple files
attrib +h file1.txt file2.doc

# Hide a folder
attrib +h "My Folder"

# Hide a file with full path
attrib +h "C:\Users\Username\Documents\myfile.txt"

# Hide all files in current directory
attrib +h *.*
The +h flag adds the hidden attribute. You can also: - Use -h to remove the hidden attribute - Combine with other attributes like: - +r (read-only) - +s (system file) - +a (archive) Example with multiple attributes: 
1
attrib +h +r myfile.txt
To verify the file is hidden, use: 
1
attrib filename
Remember: Hidden files can still be viewed in File Explorer by enabling "Show hidden files" in folder options.

How do I mark files as hidden on a Windows computer via the command line?

Output

To mark files as hidden on Windows using the command line, you can use the `attrib` command. Here's how: Basic syntax: 

1
attrib +h filename
Examples: 1. Hide a single file: 
1
attrib +h myfile.txt
2. Hide multiple files: 
1
attrib +h file1.txt file2.txt file3.txt
3. Hide a folder and its contents: 
1
attrib +h myfolder
4. Hide all files in current directory: 
1
attrib +h *.*
5. Hide files recursively (including subdirectories): 
1
attrib +h /s /d *.*
To unhide files, use `-h` instead of `+h`: 
1
attrib -h filename
Note: - You may need to run Command Prompt as administrator for some operations - The `+h` adds the hidden attribute - The `-h` removes the hidden attribute - `/s` applies to files in all subdirectories - `/d` applies to folders as well

To unhide files, use -h instead of +h: 
1
attrib -h filename
Note: - You may need to run Command Prompt as administrator for some operations - The quotes are necessary if the file/folder name contains spaces - You can combine attributes like +h +r to make a file both hidden and read-only To view current attributes of files: 
1
attrib
The attributes are: - R = Read-only - A = Archive - S = System file - H = Hidden
