 * Hiding a folder in Win 7 **

If you have hidden your folders in the selection page

//Y//ou can access your hidden folder in Win 7 and Vista by going to where it was stored (it is there) and clicking the **Alt** key. This will bring up a familiar looking menu at the top of the screen.

Click on **Tools**, then **Folder Options**. In the **Folder Options** dialog box, click the **View** tab, and look for **Show hidden files, folders and drives**. Click the Radio button to the left.

Your folder will be in view, but will remain technically hidden until you follow the process you started with, and uncheck Hidden in the folder Properties.

Under the **General** tab, uncheck the Radio button beside the word **Hidden**.

And the following is a way to limit access by others rather than hide.

Begin with the same steps you used to hide the folder. Right click on the folder, select **Properties**, and under the **Security** tab, select the user or group whose permissions you would like to modify.

Then, click the **Edit** button and, in the Permissions dialog box, you can select any or all of the checkboxes.

If you want deny all access, check all the boxes. When you’re done, click **Apply** and **OK**.

Once you’ve done this, only users logged in under your name will be able to access this folder.
