Hide your important images with dos

So you have a image precious image stored up in your computer and want to hide it from others then you might just like our way of hiding files using the dos only.

 

Requirements.

A image file.
A good text editor (notepad will do)
Dos

 

What it does


This trick will convert an image file into an not understandable file See the image for more details
beforehiding afterhiding

           BEFORE HIDING                                                       AFTER HIDING

How to do it.

If you have read my article of hiding your documents using notepad then,this trick will be easy to follow.In this article I will be showing you,how to hide images in a txt format or any other format and make the image undetectable. Are you ready - Let's begin.

first move your images to c drive.[Create a backup of your image i will not be responsible if it is lost.]
Click on start then on run then type cmd
now type cd\ [press enter]
now take note of your image name and extension lets say techgeektricks.jpj
now under cmd - command prompt
type 

ren techgeektricks.jpj techgeektricksjpj.txt           

[press enter]

Ren command on command prompt is used for renaming the files.Here techgeektricks in the file name
and jpj/txt is it's extension. I have named the out put file as  techgeektricksjpj so that while converting it back to image format it becomes easy.

Now go to the location where your image was located and try to view it.You will notice that the image has changed into a text file.

To get your image back is simple just go to ms dos prompt go to c drive an then type ren techgeektricksjpj.txt techgeektricks.jpj

 

Where to use it?

You can use it to send images to your friends computer hiding it from spying eyes or you can just keep it in your  computer I bet no one will ever find out what is inside those text files unless you tell them it is an image or so.

 

Extra notes.

You can change the .txt extension to .mp3 or any other extension.

If you change the code or fiddle with the code which you get when the image is changed to .txt extension then the image will be  lost forever.So be careful

If you want to send the image hidden as .txt file then you must attach the file itself if you give your friend the code (i.e .txt code) It will not work.

Hide files and folders

Want to hide folders,files?read futher

This article is also for a newbibe so if you are bit geek than don't read this article.


Hiding a folder.
Steps
  • Create a folder name it techgeektricks. (don't tell me how!and name it techgeektricks afterwards u can change)
  • Right click on it and click on properties.
  • Properties dilog box will appear.
  • click on hidden under attributes.
  • click on ok and then apply.
now just referesh your folder is gone.
So u wanna Get it back
there are two ways for this:
First way using address bar
[note:- suppose you have created techgeektricks folder under c:/ directiory(if not do it now it will confuse you afterwards if you are a total newbibe)]

so it is under c:/ directory]
Now on the address bar type


C:\techgeektricks


Now you are under your hidden folder

now do what ever you want ,put whatever you want.


second method:- Folder options


[note:-you have created techgeektricks folder under c: directiory]


  • now click on tools.
  • then on folder options
  • click on view tab
  • now see the list under advance settings
  • Hidden files and folders
  • then click on Show hidden files and folders
  • click on apply and then ok.
  • your folder is displayed.

[TIP: make sure you disable it after doing your job]

Advantage of first method over second method:-
in the first medthod you can directly access the folder without changing the properties on the whole. The second method you have
to change the properties which will affect all the folders and files so i you forget to disable everyone can see it. so I Would suggest you to go for the first method.

HOW TO HIDE FILES

Just follow the method of hiding folders on files and it will also be hidden;

How to hide important Messages or Documents

If you were wondering how to hide some written text or messages (it should be something which is simple text)
But dont want to use any other software except the faithful and powerful notepad then keep on reading .

Lets take an example , If you want to say "I Love YOU" or want to send your bank no or any thing through internet
you know that It isn't safe to give away you information just like that so you would certainly want to hide,If so then keep on reading.

Steps:
1> Open Notepad.
2> Type your message. Lets say your bank no"45475654".
3> Now click on file->saveas
4> A saveas dialog box will open.
5> Now at the bottom of the box you will see Save as type,
6> Click on the down arrow to get the dropdown list./
7> Select All Files.
8> Now in File name type name.exe // here name is the name of the file
Note
I will suggest you to use the .exe extension since it will create an exeutiable file you can also
Name it this way name.dll,name.clp,name.bat,name.mp3,name.3gp give the extension of anything you know or
just give name.
eg, name.guragai,name.virus,name.com or just give the name you want just take care that you do not put the
extension of .txt or any other text files

9> now click on Save and then close the notepad
10> Hurray!!!! Now you have hidden your message now try to open the file which you have saved
11> Supprized ??!! Did it open or could you see what you have written.
12> So What on earth should i do to open the file? Ok, Now open notepad
13> Click on File->Open, Now go to the place where you have saved the file earlier
14> now open the file
15> hurray the file opened.

What can you do with this,
You can send your message to your GF or BF with out letting any one know what is written inside.
You can send your Bank no or Password to someone And try to figure out how to use this process trick
and if you do find any new thing out of this then remember to drop a comment on this article.
