How To Hide a File In an Image File

# You will need the following.. Windows 2000 / XP
# Basic Knowledge of the Command Prompt
# WinRar

1. Gather your image and the files you wish to lodge into it. Here I have a hide.txt which I will hide inside my toshow.jpg.
2. Add the files you want to hide into a new RAR archive. (so hide.rar created newly)
3. Open Command Prompt and go to the folder where your files are located, e.g., 'C:\hidden'.
5. At command prompt type 'copy /b toshow.jpg + hide.rar point.jpg' (without quotes).
(toshow.jpg is the picture I want to show, hide.rar is the file to be hidden, and point.jpg is the file which contains both.
6. Now test the point.jpg by double clicking it, and verifying it still opens.
7. Now try opening that same point.jpg file from menu: file->open of WinRar. It will show the original hidden file hide.txt.

Done !!!!!

Now point.jpg is a simple JPEG for others, but it contains a secret file hide.txt for you !!!!!!!!!
