If you’re looking to hide files on your PC hard drive, you may have read about ways to encrypt folders or change the attributes on a file so that they cannot be accessed. However, a lot of times hiding files or folders in that way requires that you install some sort of software on your computer, which could then be spotted by someone else.
You can actually hide any type of file inside of an image file, including txt, exe, mp3, avi, or whatever else. Not only that, you can actually store many files inside of single JPG file, not just one! This can come in very handy if you need to hide files and don’t want to bother with encryption and all that other technical stuff.

hmmm, very neat trick! i wasn’t aware this can be done this way — hiding it in a JPEG file. quick question: does it work on image files only or do you think it is applicable in other file types as well? just wondering ^_^

logically speaking its not restricted to jpg/jpeg formats
and regarding the live activity feed, I am not very sure about the performance aspect of it, its a simple javascript, and since i installed it only today, I need atleast couple more days to analyze the side affects, will surely let u know
