needed:
-WinZip or WinRaR installed on your computer

Steps:
  • create a folder in your hard drive, i.e. C:\this folder, and place the files that you wanted to hide inside this folder also include the JPG file. [or simply go to your drive C, make a folder and name it ]



  • next, you select the files that you want to hide do not include the picture, right click on them and choose add to Archive or compress to RAR or ZIP file. You can name it the way you want,
  • i.e. hideThisFiles.rar


  • Now, you got the .rar file, the .jpg picture and the files that you have added to the rar file, "if you do not need anymore those files you can delet it and dont worry about how to get them back when you need it in the future...

    follow this:
    -click on start
    -click Run then type cmd or CMD press enter
    -type cd \ inorder to get to the directory root
    -then type cd and the name of the folder that you have created
    i.e. cd this folder

    type, copy /b image.jpg + hideThisFiles.rar image.jpg


  • And were finished! The the rar file has been hidden inside the JPG pifture!
    to check it, click on the picture choose properties and check the file size of the picture increased by some kilobytes as the size of you archieve file.


    To open the file that has been hidden:
    click on the picture and choose rename, but do not erase the file name itself, erase only the extension; change the .jpg into .rar and press enter.
