Just follow these steps to hide the data :

+ Launch Windows command prompt from Start Menu -> Run -> Type cmd and press Enter.

+ Using DOS commands navigate to the desired folder.

+Now, type notepad VisibleFile.txt:HiddenFile.txt and hit Enter, you can change
VisibleFile.txt and HiddenFile.txt to names of your choice (notice the : between both file-names), You will be prompted to Create a New file click Yes.

+ Now enter data you want to hide, save the file and close notepad.

+ Visit the file-save location, you will see your VisibleFile.txt file (non-hidden) there, you can open the file and enter any text of your choice as any other normal text file.

+ The hidden file HiddenFile.txt will not be visible under Windows Explorer or DOS.

+To open and read/write your hidden file, type in the command notepad VisibleFile.txt:HiddenFile.txt (change filenames with your own used during Step 3 above) at DOS command prompt and hit Enter.


Note : If the visible file (VisibleFile.txt) is deleted your hidden file (HiddenFile.txt) will also get deleted.
