nice trick to hide files inside a picture

1. Gather all the files that you wish to hide in a folder anywhere in your PC (make it in C:\hidden - RECOMMENDED). 2. Now, add those files in a RAR archive (e.g. secret.rar).

Now, open Command Prompt (Go to Run and type ‘cmd‘). Make your working directory C:\hidden. 5. Now type: “COPY /b logo.jpg + secret.rar output.jpg” (without quotes) - Now, logo.jpg is the picture you want to show, secret.rar is the file to be hidden, and output.jpg is the file which contains both. 6....
