Do you want a folder to be completely hidden?.In windows even if we make a folder properties hidden it will be shown when we use the option ‘search for hidden files and folder’ while searching a file.But here is a trick that really make the folder invisible.So here’s how you do it.
- Right click the place where you want the folder to be created and select create a new folder.
- Right click the newly created folder and select rename.
- Now clear the file name.But windows tells you that you cant create a folder without a file name.
- So clear the file name, while the name field still active press and hold alt and press 0160 (Num lock must be on).
- Now you will have a folder without a file name.
- Right click the nameless folder and go to the properties and select the customize tab.
- Now select the change icon.
- Look for the icon that has no image. That is a blank one. Select it and press OK.
- That’s it there’s your invisible folder.
- I recommend not to put it on your desktop as it may show up for a second while starting windows.
- It will be good enough to put it with a group of folders.
- For an enhanced hiding you can also make its property hidden.
