Ever wanted to hide your folder's contents?
Didn't want 3rd party programs to hide your files?
Just follow these steps... it's easy

Hiding contents:

Step 1. Select a folder you want to hide (ex. topsecret)
Step 2. Open the command prompt and rename the folder name to one of the following CLSID:

.{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D} (= My Computer)
.{450D8FBA-AD25-11D0-98A8-0800361B1103} (= My Documents)
.{208D2C60-3AEA-1069-A2D7-08002B30309D} (= My Network Places)
.{645FF040-5081-101B-9F08-00AA002F954E} (= Recycle Bin)
.{871C5380-42A0-1069-A2EA-08002B30309D} (= Internet Explorer)
.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D} (= Control Panel)
.{D20EA4E1-3957-11D2-A40B-0C5020524153} (= Administrative Tools)
.{00020D75-0000-0000-C000-000000000046} (= Inbox)
.{D20EA4E1-3957-11D2-A40B-0C5020524152} (= Fonts)
.{7007ACC7-3202-11D1-AAD2-00805FC1270E} (= Network Connections)
.{2227A280-3AEA-1069-A2DE-08002B30309D} (= Printers and Faxes)
.{7BE9D83C-A729-4D97-b5A7-1B7313C39E0A} (= Programs Folder)
.{E211B736-43FD-11D1-9EFB-0000F8757FCD} (= Scanners and Cameras)
.{D6277990-4C6A-11CF-8D87-00AA0060F5BF} (= Scheduled Tasks)
.{48E7CAAB-B918-4E58-A94D-505519C795DC} (= Start Menu Folder)
.{7BD29E00-76C1-11CF-9DD0-00A0C9034933} (= Temporary Internet Files)
.{BDEADF00-C265-11d0-BCED-00A0C90AB50F} (= Web Folders)
.{6DFD7C5C-2451-11D3-A299-00C04F8EF6AF} (= Folder Options)

ex. ren topsecret .{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}

Before:



After:




Once renamed , the topsecret folder will change to a "My Computer" shortcut and when you try opening it, it doesn't show the contents. It works just like a normal "My Computer" shortcut.
You can rename any folder to any CLSID listed above!

Step 3: The Switch

To make renaming a lot easier, all you have to do is make a bat file.

To make the first switch, (to hide the contents),
Open Notepad and type:

@echo off
ren [folder directory]\topsecret .{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}
exit

and then save as switch1.bat

To make the second switch, (for restoring the folder),
Just simply make another bat file. This time,

@echo off
ren [folder directory]\.{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D} topsecret
exit

and then save as switch2.bat

Now you can hide those switches wherever you want! Cool

Note for Beginners: On saving as a bat file, don't forget to select the filetype to "all file types"

Thats it were done!
