Default Wanna hide something from others, including yourself???

Open a cmd prompt

type cd \ <-- This changes the directory

You should now be at C:>\

Type dir
You will see a directory of files

Type in notepad test.txt and press enter and then click yes to save the file. Then type in something short, just so you can see how this works. Type in Hello World

Close notepad and go back to the cmd prompt

Type dir
You will now see the .txt file you just made

Type in notepad test.txt:hidden.txt and the click yes to save the file and then type in something longer than what you typed before.

Type in dir again and notice that the file size is still the same. Now try to find the file you just made, not the first text file, but the second. Can you find it? The file is there, you just can't find it unless you are an advanced windows user and you know what this approach is refered too. Let me know if you find it and how you did so. :rolleyes:
