How To Hide Your Files

Got some "embarrassing" pictures on your laptop? Have a family-shared computer, but still want you privacy? Are you the kind of guy that does things not strictly legal? It's fine buddy, Uncle Jack understands. And I'm here to make sure no one ever finds what you've got stashed on your rig. In short, this method will combine a .rar file with an image file that is still fully viewable.

You'll need:

• a decoy image file (it doesn't matter what it is) (for this, we'll call it "image.jpg")

•  a .rar containing files to hide (we'll call it "secret.rar")

•   command prompt (we'll call it "command prompt")

Steps:

1. Put your decoy image (image.jpg) and the .rar file you want to hide (secret.rar) in the some folder. In this case, we'll use c:\
2. Open up a command prompt (go to start>run, type cmd, and press enter)
3. On the black screen type cd c:\ and hit enter (if using another folder, replace c:\ with the full path)
4. Type: copy /b image.jpg + secret.rar new.jpg and hit enter (new.jpg is the output file with the hidden .rar file in it. you should type it in the same format as the decoy (.jpg). if it was a .png, you would use .png for both)
5. Done! If you double click new.jpg, the image will show up like normal, but if you right click it and open it with winrar (or another .rar program), you can get to your hidden files.

Happy hiding!
