2. Create a subfolder inside the legitimate file's folder. For example, if it's Chrome, go to "<mark style="color:orange;">C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\SetupMetrics</mark>" instead of just \
   "<mark style="color:orange;">C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application</mark>".

2. Type in "`attrib +h '`<mark style="color:blue;">`Cheatname.exe`</mark>`'`". For example, if it's <mark style="color:blue;">Spotify.exe</mark>, it will be \
   "`attrib +h`` `<mark style="color:blue;">`Spotify.exe`</mark>".
