Have you ever wanted to hide any folder on your PC from your dad, brother or your friends ? You can do that without using any software. Yes, you heard it right! But I can not say that it is a foolproof idea. But if you are careful, no one will be able to see your folder. It is always a good idea to hide such things in this folder that even if you get caught the consequences are not bad enough.
So follow the below steps to make your folder invisible:
1. Rename the folder by pressing the ALT key and 0160 using Num Pad. ie: "ALT + 0160" You actually don't have to press the + sign in Num pad. Just press and hold down the ALT key and type 0160 using Num pad, thats it. After this press enter and you will be able to see an empty space there that means you are half done.
2. Now that we have renamed the folder as an empty space we will now have to change the folder icon to something that could not be seen.
• Right click folder
• Go to properties
• Select the Customize tab and then press the Change Icon button that is seen at the lower left corner.
• Look out for an empty space and select it and then press OK.
• Done. Your folder is now invisible.
Note: If you press "ALT+A" which is a shortcut to SELECT ALL then even the invisble folder gets selected and the folder can be seen clearly.
--> Below is an images to guide you through the whole process easily.
You must be a bit confused by watching 3 folder with a same name ie: "Something"
Even you can create folder with same name by using "ALT + 0160"
The three folder with the same name in the image above are actually not the same name.
Folder 1: Something
Folder 2: SomethingALT0160
Folder 3: SomethingALT0160ALT0160
Hope you understand what I am trying to explain above.. Try it.. :)
Good luck.
