Hiding a file (a simple way)

Go to command prompt and enter following command

C:\>notepad visible.txt:hidden.txt

Enter text in the new notepad window and save it.
A new file visible.txt will be created but it will be
blank!!
You can not find ‘C:\visible.txt:hidden.txt’ but its there along with its content you have just typed!!

To prove it enter the same command

C:\>notepad visible.txt:hidden.txt

Note:
1) You canchoose some secret filename after visible.txt: so others can’t guess.
2) You can add any number of hidden files corresponding to one visible file.
e.g.
visible.txt:hide
visible.txt:hello
visible.txt:secrete
3) If file content of visible file is modified or deleted all the hidden files will be deleted :(.
Well, that's a big problem. Simplicity comes with price anyways.
