As you will know, you can set files and folders in MS Windows to "hidden" so that they cannot be seen.

What I was wondering was if you were to search for them, even though they are hidden, would you still find it?

So if you hid a file called "Bank details", could you search for "Bank" and get that file?

Thanks,
Chris

On search panel there's an option More advanced options and under that Search hidden files and folders. I believe that automatically it won't search these files.
