How to Show Hidden Text in Notepad

Have you ever stumbled upon a hidden text or folder that seems impossible to access? It can be frustrating when you're unable to view the contents of a folder or file. But fear not, as today we'll show you how to reveal hidden text in Notepad.

To begin, create a new text file and name it `log`. Open this file using Notepad and add the following lines:

a + TheCustomizeWindows - 02.PNG

TheCustomizeWindows

Save the log file with the `.log` extension and make sure to set the encoding to ANSI. This is crucial as it will help you hide the text.

Next, create a new text file inside the same folder where your `log` file resides. Right-click on the folder, hover over 'New,' and select 'Text Document.' Name this file `lock.bat`. Copy and paste the following lines into the `lock.bat` file:

@echo off

cls

echo Please wait...

pause > nul

save the changes.

Now, create two copies of your image file (in any format) and rename them to `TheCustomizeWindows-01` and `TheCustomizeWindows-02`. Place these images in a separate folder. This is where you'll hide your secret message.

To add the hidden text to your picture, follow these steps:

1. Open Notepad and create a new text file.

2. Write your secret message inside the text file, including three star signs (*) above and below the text as shown in the screenshot.

3. Save the text file with the `.txt` extension.

Now, you'll need to embed this text into one of your image files. To do this:

1. Open the `TheCustomizeWindows-01` image file using any image editing software.

2. Copy and paste the secret message text into the image file.

3. Save the changes.

Repeat these steps for the second image file, renaming it to `TheCustomizeWindows-02`.

To unlock your hidden folder, double-click on the `lock.bat` file. This will redirect you to the Control Panel, effectively hiding the contents of the folder.

Make sure not to leave the `key.bat` file inside the folder you're hiding. To access the hidden folder, simply run the `key.bat` file and you'll be able to view its contents once again.

Tips and Precautions

* Always keep your `key.bat` file in a separate location from the folder you're hiding.

* Make sure to replace 'Users' with the actual name of your folder.

* Test this method by creating a new folder called 'Users' or something else related to the Control Panel, and add the files you want to hide into it.
