Hi everyone! Windows 11 is an awesome update, I’m sure most of you have already been using it yourself, so, let’s take a look at an awesome trick within Windows 11 that allows us to hide a folder within Windows 11!

To start off, you want to find the specific folder that you want to hide, in this case, we’ll be using a random folder on the desktop.

Once set up, you want to right-click on that specific folder, you then want to take a look at the very bottom of that specific window, and you should be able to see a little option that says “Hidden”:

All you want to do is click on that hidden option, you then want to click on apply, and you should be able to see that the folder is now hidden!

If you want to find this folder, all you have to do is open up the file explorer, you then want to click on File, change folder and search options, click on view, and make sure to select “Show hidden files and folders”, and you will now be able to see the file on your desktop!

There you have it! Do you know of any other tricks within Windows 11? I would love to hear your thoughts about this!
