Hide your folders without actually hiding them!!

You ever have a folder on your computer that you don’t want any one to find? You can make this folder hidden but then you have to un-hide all the folders when you want to find and access the folder.

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… wit 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.
4. 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.

7. Hit OK and you have an invisible folder!

With the invisible folder you can hide what ever undesirables you have. Be it video games at work, pictures of your family or anything else you can think of

The folder will show up for a brief second if you put it on your desktop. For that reason it might be smart to place it inside a folder or amongst a group of folders.
Happy Hiding!
