I have tested this in Microsoft Windows Server 2003, and works 110%. So, i would like to share this with you people. I hop you people enjoy this.

You will need the following…
# Windows OS ( except Win 98 )
# Basic Knowledge of the Command Prompt
# WinRar

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

Done!
