to "hide" a folder means to pull it out of normal view, and only allow it to be accessed when a user has set their computer to show hidden files. the only reason to use it is if you're running a machine with multiple users at multiple user levels and want to restrict access to specific areas of your computer to lesser users. other than that, it serves no real practical purpose.
