A better solution would be to make an encrypted dmg with disk utility then you can put whatever you want inside it and give it an innocuous name and no one will be able to open it. I presume the point of hiding something is to keep it away from others.
You can show hidden files in Finder, then rename a file or folder with a period at the beginning of the name, then hide hidden files again.no isnt there any thing like we do in windows???? like tht thing is in systm...u can hidde by right clicking on it...and unfide by going view...??? isnt there there such a thing in mac???

Yes, there are several. Secrets also has the option to show/hide hidden files.Correct.
But there is also a free and easy App for it, Show & Hide is the name, maybe a bit easier for the OP.
