It will be impossible for others to find the file or folder unless they know the file name or folder name.The most important thing is that, once hidden with this method, the files/folders cannot be viewed by any search options even if you click "Show All Hidden Files and Folders".
You can secure your documents easily by this method. Make sure you remember the file or folder name!
