I assume you want to hide project1 folder in drive D:
open command prompt type D:
you should land at D:/_
type 'attrib project1 +h +s +a' without quotes, enter
the folder project1 is hidden. It can't be viewed even when the 'show hidden files' option is on.
TO unhide
type
attrib project1 -h -s -a

Do you get some error message while hiding your folders via command prompt? For example an error message like 'Parameter not correct'? It works fine in my system. One more thing to make sure that the folder which you are trying to hide must not contain spaces like "ghost rider", it has space. First rename it as 'ghostrider' and then try to hide it. This trick works fine in Windows XP. If you are using Windows 98, then I've got another trick to specially 'Encrypt' Files via command prompt.

I've tried it again but still doesn't work. At the command prompt, I entered `attrib project1 +h +s +a`, then enter. Then I close the command prompt.
Then I open `my computer` go to `d:\` , I found the `project1` folder was created, and hidden.
Anything wrong in my steps or with my computer? FYI I'm using window XP home edition
