Temporarily hide a folder

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand that you want to hide photos while working on Photos app, In order to get clarity and to assist you accordingly, we would need some information.

1. Are you aware of any recent changes made on your PC?
2. What is the version and build of you operating system? In the
   Search box, type winver
   to get this info.

Since it takes a while for the folder to re-populate after removal from the Photos app, I have found a work around to hide the folder from Photos app by changing the hidden attributes.



Follow the steps to hide the Photo/ folder.

1. Right click on the Photo/ folder.
   
2. Select properties.
   
3. Check Hidden under General tab and hit apply
   
4. The photo will be temporally hidden from photos app.
   

To unhide the Photo/ folder refer the below steps.

1. Click on files explorer.
   
2. Select the View tab and check Hidden items to view the Photo/folder
   
3. Right click on the Photo/folder
   
4. Select properties, Uncheck Hidden and click on apply.
   
5. The Photo will re-appear in the Photos app.
   

Thanks,

Hide or Show User Profile's Personal Folders in Navigation Pane

Hello Brink and thank you. This website is a very helpful resource.

Your suggested answer will hide the User Profile folder in the Navigation Pane.

Instead, this scenario involves not hiding the User Profile folder but hiding specific Personal Folders in the Navigation Pane that are marked "Hidden" in the Files/Folders Listing Area.

My suspicion is that there are more "PinToNamespace" registry entries for me to toggle the DWORD value.
