Actually u can easily hide your folders by right clicking on the folder and ticking the hidden attribute.

Yes, but that can easily be undone using explorer.

But, if you go into Windows Explorer, navigate to the main folder where the invisible folder is, and sort by some attribute (name, data, etc.), you should find an empty space, which is the invisible folder. That should look suspicious.

Have you tried putting a $ after the name of the file or folder.. I know in windows that some this could hide things.

Im not sure if this what you are talking about but i thought i would share this.

Haha, I actually use this to hide some sensitive files. Although, if you're like me, you'll have fun dragging the mouse from top to bottom on the screen and find the highlighted folder xD
