How To Hide Your Private Files in a JPEG Image

Okay, this may sound incredible to you but yeah, it's not magic and no programming skill is required to do this. All you need is just follow these basics to hide important files in any of your photo/image on your system.
1. Gather the file you wish to bind, and the image file, and place them in a folder. I will be using C:\New Folder
-The image will hereby be referred to in all examples as pix.jpg
-The file will hereby be referred to in all examples as NewTextDoc.txt
2. Add the file/files you will be injecting into the image into a WinRar .rar or .zip. From here on this will be referred to as (secret.rar)
3. Open command prompt by going to Start > Run > cmd
4. In Command Prompt, navigate to the folder where your two files are by typing cd location [ex: cd C:\New Folder]
5. Type [copy /b pix.jpg + secret.rar pix.jpg] (don't forget to remove the brackets).
Now, as far as anyone viewing is concerned, this file looks like a JPEG, acts like a JPEG, and is a JPEG, yet it now contains your file(s).
In order to view/extract your file, there are two options that you can take
a) Change the file extension from pix.jpg to pix.rar, then open and your file is there
b) Leave the file extension as is, right click, open with WinRar and your file is there.
