Hide a folder without actually hiding them

[FlashX]

Confused ? Its actually not a hidden file but a Invisible file. Not completely invisible, but still good enough. Only you can see it unless somebody accidentally come across it.

Lets see how it could be done:-

1. Create a folder. While naming the folder, hit ALT + 0160 (Hold down the ALT key and press 0160 on the num keypad of your keyboard). You can also use ALT + 255 to create a 'nameless' folder.


2. Now right-click that folder and select Properties. Hit the Customize tab in the properties window and click Change icon. Select a blank icon from the list of icons given to you. You can find blank icons in the 13th Vertical line in when you click Change icon button

3. Click Ok.

Thats it.. now place at safe place so that you could remember where it is actually..

If the folder view is changed there is gap between folders where the folder is missing.But still a good trick.

The only weak point is that when you refresh the desktop or drive , the folder will get revealed for a fraction of a second .
