  Hey guys,
  
  Let me put in my contribution on this 😉
  
  Alright when it comes to hiding files I would probably go for hiding the file in image file Ok so let me explain how it should be done!!
  
  NOTE: Make sure you have winrar installed
  
  ok lets say there is a text file and it has some content which i want to hide or folder (what ever you want to hide) right click and create an archive file using win rar which results in a .rar format. Now take any image file and put it in the same folder where you have the rar file (which contains the files which you want to hide) now open you command prompt, for people who don't know how to do it follow the below steps:
  
  -> Click the start button (windows start button)
  -> Choose run
  -> and type cmd and hit enter (or click ok button)
  
  you will see a black window which is the command prompt now navigate to the directory where the file is there for example lets say the files (.rar and image file) are in c drive this is how you have to navigate to the folder
  
  c:\Document and setting\slashfear>cd \
  c:\>
  
  now type this command for example the image file name is demo.jpg and the rar file name is hide.rar
  
  
  c:\>copy /b demo.jpg + hide.rar demo.jpg
  
  hit enter and your done!!
  
  Now the files are hidden in the image file if you double click on the demo.jpg it will show you the image and to see the hidden files open the demo.jpg with winrar or rename demo.jpg to demo.rar!!
  
  if you have any doubts please feel free to ask!! 😉

  @Arvind: Dude, that was really awesome! Thanks for that trick. By the way, how did you find it out and what is behind copying it as binary? Does it need anything else, any special software, or minimum system requirements? Is it only supported in RAR, or it works in ZIP too?
  
  By the way, from my side, if you want to create a quick icon file, with some picture in your hand, take your favourite picture editor, create your master piece, resize into it a 32 x 32 canvas and export it as Windows Bitmap. Now rename the .bmp to .exe or .ico and voila, your icon file is ready! 😀

  No prob!! I actually was playing around and tried to do stenography in python and perl but eventually dint work!! ( but still working on it ..... 😀 )
  
  You have to copy the contents in binary then only the actual file will remain undamaged and for some reason it works only with winrar and not winzip. and to perform this you don't have to have any special system config or extra software (except winrar)
