While helping people at Nokia Discussion Forums today, I saw a discussion on hiding files on a Nokia N73 and realised that it was still confusing for many users. So prior to going offline for a week for my exams, I thought of helping out you guys with this little guide. The good part is that, this guide is not only for the N73, but also for any Symbian OS device (ranging from Nokia 6600 to Samsung i450 to Nokia N95 8GB and on).
1. Download Y-Browser or any other file browser of your choice and install it. For those guys do not have PCs, if the default Web browser of your phone seem too hard to handle for you, use Opera Mini 4.1
2. Select and run your downloaded file browser from Applications folder (or from DrJukka.com folder in Y-Browser’s case).
3. Scroll to the file that you want to hide. Select Attributes.
(Options > File > Attributes, in Y-Browser ) 4. Set the hiding status to Hidden.
5. Done ! Your file is invisible now.
There are many other ways to hide your files too, but this is the easiest way to do it.
To unhide a hidden file..
You first need to set your file browser to show all files ( Options > Settings > General > Show All Files > Yes in Y-Browser).
Then scroll to your hidden file and change the file attributes to Unhidden. Note that the files will not be shown on phone’s default File Browser also while hidden.
Most of the links are to 3rd Edition software, but you may find 2nd Edition file explorers for free by Googling too.
