Could anyone tell me how to Hide a folder? I would also like to know how to make a folder public again after hiding it.
 
Right click on the folder you want to hide and select properties -> Check
mark the box titled "Hidden" to hide it. You will also need to change the
view settings in order to hide the "hidden" items. You can do so by clicking
on the Tools menu in windows explorer and then selecting Folder Options and
clicking view tab and then select the radio box titled "Do not show hidden
files and folders"

When you want to unhide the folder, go back to the view tab in the folder
options from the tools menu and select the radio box titled "Show hidden
files and folders". Then you will see that folder in Windows Explorer. Right
click on the folder and select properties and uncheck the box titled
"Hidden". Make sure you re-select the box titled "Do not show hidden files
and folders" from the view tab in folder options from the tools menu so that
users cannot see other hidden files.

Hide Files 2.3 (free)
You have any files or programs that you don't want to share with other or
they contain financial and tax information, passwords, personal letters and
emails, private images, and other confidential or personal data. But
typically, computer files and folders have not security protection so the
best way to protect them is to make files or folders invisible for another's
eyes. Hide Files makes hidden any files and folders (or whole Windows folder
or even all computer disks).
