For this, you will only need to download WinRAR. You just need to have a little knowledge about Command Prompt and have WinRAR installed.
Now..you just need to follow these steps..
1. Gather all the files that you wish to hide in a folder anywhere in your PC (make it in C:\hidden - RECOMMENDED).
2. Now, add those files in a RAR archive (e.g. secret.rar). This file should also be in the same directory (C:\hidden).
3. Now, look for a simple JPEG picture file (e.g. logo.jpg). Copy/Paste that file also in C:\hidden.
4. Now, open Command Prompt (Go to Run and type ‘cmd‘). Make your working directory C:\hidden.[For making it the working directory, you have to know some very basic commands in DOS]
5. Now type: “COPY /b logo.jpg + secret.rar output.jpg” (without quotes) - Now, logo.jpg is the picture you want to show, secret.rar is the file to be hidden, and output.jpg is the file which contains both.
6. Now, after you have done this, you will see a file output.jpg in C:\hidden. Open it (double-click) and it will show the picture you wanted to show. Now try opening the same file with WinRAR, it will show the hidden archive .

You don't have to make your working directory before the copy /b command. It works without any hanky panky. You can do this with any files not only jpg and rar and not only with two files. You can make this too:
copy /b file1.gif + file2.mp3 output.xyz
The output file's extension defines what will happen if you double click on the output file.
output.gif = your associated picture viewer shows the gif file
output.mp3 = your associated mp3 player plays the mp3 file
or:
copy /b file1.exe + file2.mp3 output.xyz
output.exe = the exe file opens
output.mp3 = your associated mp3 player plays the mp3 file
Feel free to experiment! But there's a rule: If you copy together a graphic file and an executable file, only the first one is possible to open.
