Have you ever wanted to hide an exe file as a jpeg file? Mostly, students are not allowed to install computer games in their school's computer laboratories. I seriously wanted to do that once when I was in high school. Now, we can succesfully hide an exe file into a jpeg file. It opens and runs the program when you click on the jpeg file. Just follow these 14 steps carefully. This really works! Of course you have to have that exe file installed in your computer.


1. Create a new folder and make sure that the options 'show hidden files' is checked and ‘hide extensions for known file types’ is unchecked. Basically what u need is to see hidden files and see the extension of all your files on your pc.

2. Paste a copy of your exe file on the newly created folder. Let's just say it's called blog.exe (that's why you need the extension of files showing, cause you need to see it to change it)

3. Now you’re going to rename this blog.exe to whatever you want, let’s say for example: KiRA.jpeg

4. Windows is normally going to warn you if you really want to change this extension from exe to jpeg, just click YES.

5. Now, create a shortcut of this KiRA.jpeg in the same folder.

6. Now that you have a shortcut, rename it to whatever you want, for example, Me.jpeg.

7. Go to properties (on the file Me.jpeg) and now you need to do some changes there.

8. First of all delete all the text on field START IN and leave it empty.

9. Then on field TARGET you need to write the path to open the other file (the blog.exe renamed as KiRA.jpeg) so you have to write this: C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe /c KiRA.jpeg

10. The last field, c KiRA.jpeg is always the name of the first file. If you called the first file soccer.avi you gotta write C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe /c soccer.avi got it?

11. So what you’re doing is when someone clicks on Me.jpeg, a commandd will execute the other file KiRA.jpeg and the blog.exe will run.

12. On that file Me.jpeg(shortcut), go to properties and you have an option to change the icon. click that and a new window will pop up and u have to write this: %SystemRoot%\system32\SHELL32.dll . Then press OK.

13. You can set the properties HIDDEN for the first file (KiRA.jpeg) if you think it’s better to get a connection from someone.

14. But don’t forget one thing, these 2 files must always be together in the same folder and to get connected to someone they must click on the shortcut created not on the first file. So rename the files to whatever you want considering the person and the knowledge they have on this matter.


Got it? It's just that simple! You can change exe file into any type of file you want, may it be avi, mp4, mp3, 3gp, etc. You just have to follow the steps above and change jpeg into those files.
