Make Folders Invisible without using any Softwares



Guys, as you can guess with this trick you can make your folders invisible without using any sophisticated software. This is a very unusual & easy trick to make your private folders invisible to others.

A folder contains two parts; an icon and a name.
So to make the folder invisible you will have to make both the icon & the name invisible.

These are the steps to do that:

1.
*For Making The Name Invisible*
Select the folder which you want to make invisible. Press
F2 key then type ALT+0160 and hit enter key. You will notice that the name of the folder has become invisible. See the snapshot below.

2.
*For Making The Icon Invisible*
Right click on the folder whose name you made invisible. Go to
Properties, then go to the Customize tab. Then click on the Change Icon button. Select any blank icon there. Remember there will be many blank icons (see snapshot). Just choose any one.
Click OK.

Viola!! your folder is invisible now (without any software). Now only you know where the folder is located. Enjoy
