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

Output

**Using the attrib Command:** 1. Open the Command Prompt as an administrator. To do this, type "cmd" in the Windows search bar and select "Run as administrator." 2. Navigate to the directory where the file you want to hide is located using the `cd` command. 3. Use the following command: 

1
attrib +h <filename>
For example: 
1
attrib +h secret_file.txt
This will mark the file named "secret_file.txt" as hidden. **Using the icacls Command:** 1. Open the Command Prompt as an administrator. 2. Navigate to the directory where the file you want to hide is located using the `cd` command. 3. Use the following command: 
1
icacls <filename> /setintegritylevel (OI)(CI)low
For example: 
1
icacls secret_file.txt /setintegritylevel (OI)(CI)low
This will set the integrity level of the file to "low," which will hide it from view. **Note:** Hidden files will not appear in the File Explorer by default. To view hidden files, you need to enable the "Show hidden files, folders, and drives" option in File Explorer settings.

**Using the attrib Command:** 1. Open a Command Prompt window (type "cmd" in the Run dialog or search bar). 2. Navigate to the directory containing the file you want to make hidden. 3. Use the following command: 

1
attrib +h <filename>
**Example:** To mark the file "mysecretfile.txt" as hidden, use this command: 
1
attrib +h mysecretfile.txt
**Using the icacls Command:** 1. Open a Command Prompt window with Administrator privileges (right-click and select "Run as administrator"). 2. Navigate to the directory containing the file you want to make hidden. 3. Use the following command: 
1
icacls <filename> /grant:r Administrator:(OI)(CI)R
**Example:** To mark the file "mysecretfile.txt" as hidden, use this command: 
1
icacls mysecretfile.txt /grant:r Administrator:(OI)(CI)R
**Notes:** * After making a file hidden, it will no longer be visible in File Explorer without enabling the "Hidden Items" option. * To unhide a file, replace "+h" with "-h" in the attrib command or "/grant:r" with "/deny:r" in the icacls command.

**Using attrib Command:** 1. Open Command Prompt as an administrator. 2. Navigate to the directory containing the file(s) you want to hide. 3. Run the following command: 

1
attrib +h filename
**Example:** 
1
attrib +h c:\my_documents\secret_file.txt
**Using icacls Command:** 1. Open Command Prompt as an administrator. 2. Navigate to the directory containing the file(s) you want to hide. 3. Run the following command: 
1
icacls filename /deny everyone:(RD,WD,F) /deny system:(RD,WD,F) /t /q
**Example:** 
1
icacls c:\my_documents\secret_file.txt /deny everyone:(RD,WD,F) /deny system:(RD,WD,F) /t /q
**Note:** * The "attrib" command is simpler, but it only hides the file from the File Explorer. It does not make the file inaccessible to other programs. * The "icacls" command denies read, write, and delete permissions to all users, effectively hiding the file from view and access.
