Folder Locker or Hider

FOLDER LOCKER OR HIDER

In computing, a hidden folder (sometimes hidden directory) or hidden file is a folder or file which file-system utilities do not display by default when showing a directory listing. They are commonly used for storing user preferences or preserving the state of a utility, and are frequently created implicitly by using various utilities. They are not a security mechanism because access is not restricted - usually the intent is simply to not "clutter" the display of the contents of a directory listing with files the user did not directly create.
