Hide text in notepad

In this trick I'll teach you how to hide the text in the notepad using command prompt. With the help of this trick you can hide the text in notepad and only you can see the hidden text. Using this trick you can easily save your important passwords or any important data which you do not want to share.
So to hide text follow the instructions below:

• Click on Start menu and select Run option on it

• Now open command prompt by typing cmd in the textbox on the run window

• Now navigate to the location where you want to save your text file with hidden data

• After that type the following code in the command prompt

                           C:\>notepad filename.txt:hidden

• For example, if you want to save your file in C drive with file name tnt4geeks then type

                            C:\>notepad tnt4geeks.txt:hidden

• After that an alert message will pop-up similar to the following

• Select Yes and your file will be created with the name tnt4geeks

• Now write your private data in the file and save the file

• Now if you open the file directly you cannot see the text you have entered in the file

• Hence if you again want to see the text of the file you again have to type the code given above, i.e. 

                           C:\>notepad tnt4geeks.txt:hiddent

• That's it notepad opens your file with the hidden text in it

Note: This trick only works on the NTFS file system
