INVISIBLE FOLDER

You ever have a folder on your computer that you really dont want any one to find? You can make this folder hidden but then you have to un-hide all the folders when ever you want to find it. So how can you make a folder truly invisible? Follow these simple steps and your unmentionables will stay that way.

1. Right click where ever you want the invisible folder to be and select create a new folder.

2. Right Click on the folder and hit rename. Erase the name of the folder so there is nothing there.

3. If you try to stop here windows will tell you that you need to provide a name. So to get around this… with the name field still active hold down ALT and press 0160 on the number pad (make sure Num Lock is on), release alt

You should now have a blank name with nothing but a folder next to it

Now click on the nameless folder and right click. Select Properties.



5. Go to the Customize tab.



6. Find and press the Change Icon button. Scroll through the icons until you find one that has no image.



There u go !!! Enjoy. But5 be careful... most of the geek community knows it.


P.S : In case you are wondering how it works, by pressing Alt+0160 , you are actually assigning the name as space. Its a cool way to rename your My Computer icon . You just have the icon ... No name !!!
