Here I am going to show you how to make a completely invisible folder.

Step 1:
Create a new folder


Step 2:
Rename the folder, but you have to make the name a space but if you hit spacebar it will just go back to new folder. So what we do is we make sure numlock is on. Then we hold alt then on the numbers to the RIGHT of the keyboard we type (we hold alt the whole time) 0160 and let go of alt. It should have a space there.
Your folder should look like this now:


Step 3:
Now this part is easy, we just have to make the icon invisible and to do that we right click the folder, go to properties. Now click the very right tab at the top called customize. Now there should be a button at the bottom that says "Change Icon". Click it. Now there should be a window that popped up with lots of icons. Scroll over to the right till you find three blank icons. Choose one of those.
Here's what the icons you need to select look like:


Now your folder should be invisible. Just remember where you put it!

Wow im gonna try it when i go back to school.

thanks,

they say that you learn something different every day lol

Works for Windows Vista too, just not that invisible. Isn't it for NTFS systems? I may be wrong.

EDIT:
I take that back. It does not work for Windows Vista.

I learned today that...ugh...


Thanks for the compliment. I heard people who make viruses are starting to use this method 0.0

Yah, but virus scanners can easily find em.

Linux doesn't support folders with "space".

no, but i can try at school to hide my games and stuff
