Windows 10: Connect a network drive hidden?

Hi,I'm trying to connect a network drive that should be hidden and only be able to access with the given name of the Folder. Now in Windows 7 i was able to do that using this command in the Command Prompt and it is not shown in the File Explorer but i cant access it with the name of the drive:net use /persisten:yes {link to network drive}But that somehow wont work in Windows XP, is there any solution for this how i can create a invisible network drive without having to install any third party program?

I would suggest simply not worrying about it, for a number of reasons.

1. Hiding your SSID won't grant you any security anyway. Anyone who wants in can find your SSID anyway.
2. It makes it more difficult to connect, even when it does work.
3. Some devices, for some reason, just don't like hidden SSIDs and have trouble with it.

Just not worth it.
