Thank you for the additional details, and explaination of what you have tried already.

While I can't be 100% certain, it appears that Folder Lock is software that runs on your machine all the time. It probably (but again I'm not certain) installs a file system filter that monitors access to files/folders it manages. It can then choose whether or not to show you the file/folder.

Here is more information on File System Filters:
File System Filter Driver Tutorial[^]

Now, the file/folder isn't truly hidden - it's just that a piece of software intercepts the access and blocks it. If the software isn't running, then the file is available to all.

If your requirement is to make a file hidden from view without software running all the time, then investigate the NTFS list permissions.
