How to hide a hard drive Partition (on windows xp): go to "execut" and write "regedit", push "ok" go to "HKEY-LOCAL-MACHINE/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Policies/, right click on "Explorer", push "new", choose "dwordvalue" and name it "Nodrives", choose "decimal": Now to hide "A" write 1, to hide "B" write 2, to hide "C" write 4, to hide "D" write 8 .....etc (*2 to move to the next drive), Now to hide 2 drives at the same time for exemple c and d we write 12 (4+8), and to show all drives we put "0". PS: we can't hide the drive used by exploring system.

How to hide a file: 1_ go to execut and write "cmd". 2_ write in the prompt box "cd /" 3_ write "cd path" (in the place of "path" write the path of the file you want to hide) 4_ now you are in the folder that contain the file you want to hide, you only have to write "attrib name +d+h" (in the place of "name" put file's name, for exemple sniper.doc) to inhide it use the same steps but in number 4 write "attrib name -d-h". Enjoy ps: files hided with this tip don't appear when you enable the option "show hided files"

Follow the same steps as when you hid them but in the place of "attrib name +d+h" write "attrib name -d-h", or you can browse files using winrar (you can see them by using this soft)

How to hide a winrar archive in a picture: we take the compressed file we want to hide and a jpeg picture and we put them together in the same folder. Now we go to this folder by using cmd (cd path) and we execute this line : "copy /b picture.jpg+archive.rar newpicture.jpg" for exemple "copy /b sniper.jpg+lol.rar hidden.jpg", the new picture that we created act like a normal picture but when we open it using winraR we find inside our archive (compressed file)
