Hide Files or Folders using Command prompt

Trick to hide files and folders using Command Prompt. The most important thing is that, once hidden with this method, the files/folders cannot be viewed by any search options even, if you click "show All Hiden Files and Folders".
Hiding the most wanted files and folders is very important now a days and it's really a tedious job too. In order to make this tedious job an easy one, i'm going to deliver you a trick now.
Suppose if have a folder named as photos and this folder is stored in Disk Drive D. If you think that  File/Folder should not be seen by any strangers who use your PC.

For that you need to follow the following instructions.

Press Windows+R: Run Command dialog box appears.
Now type "cmd" and hit enter. A command prompt window displays
Now type "attrib+s+h D:\photos" and hit enter.
The folder "photos" will be hidden. It cannot be veiwed by any search options
To veiw this folder again, use the same command, but replace '+' with '-' on both flags 's' and 'h'.
