Friends is there any free utility or software to hide a folder , if possible the whole drive. If yes then plz tell me I am in a desperate need of such utility.

One more problem I am pressing right click of my mouse but it doesn't show any property window. However by pressing property button of keyboard it shows property what's the problem . Reply me .

Your mouse's right click button might have broken? Does it work in certain applications like say, a game?

If you REALLY wanted it hidden (and I mean, NO ONE can find it...not even the administrator), then write a driver to filter the files/processes/whatever you want to hide. Sure, it's considerably more complex than a "point and click" solution, but hey! it's free! (well, unless you consider time = money, in which case it's probably rather expensive).

instead of hiding a folder let's try that no body even u also cannot see the folder,for this u need knowledge in Registry,steps are:
1. type regedit in start->run
2.then go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE ->SOFTWARE->MICROSOFT->WINDOWS
->CURRENT VERSION->EXPLORER->ADVANCED->FOLDER
3.here u will find a string "TYPE (GROUP)" on the right side of window,DELETE THIS VALUE
4.

then u will not find "SHOW HIDDEN FILES AND FOLDERS"options in TOOLS->FOLDER OPTIONS->VIEW in MY COMPUTER
5.IF U want it back again do 2nd step and create a new string value called "TYPE" and name it's value as "GROUP",if doubts contact krishh_12@yahoo.com
