(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); This is a very handy trick to hide files on your computer, IMO this trick works best if the folder is on your Desktop.

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


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.


4. 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 “wink”.

Happy Hacking!

All you need to do is select the blank icon again every time this occurs

I don't do requests
cant do alt codes on my laptop...but a simple comma doesnt look too bad (cant really tell its there unless you no it is)...plus it helps to not lose it XD

Yeah, I mean if you put it in a corner or something I doubt you'd notice it. Happy
