Hi Randomcoder,

I'm not sure that a solution is needed.  In my setup (Org master branch,
Emacs 23), the PROPERTIES drawer is always folded by default.  I've
never done anything to make this happen; as far as I know, it's the
default behavior in Org.

So: is there something in your setup that's causing the drawer NOT to be
folded?  (Try loading Org in emacs -Q, then see if property drawers are
folded by default or not.)

If you need help finding out what's responsible, send us more specific
information about your Org version and configuration.

Do you need the drawer to be hidden, or is having it folded enough?  
 
Best,
