Hide A Folder Without Hide Option ! (Invisible Folder)

Everyone has certain files that s/he would rather keep private, especially guys. One of the ways to do that is to make such files hidden and bury them deep in the system files. The problem with such approach is that it’s not really conveninet if you need to access those files on a regular basis. So if you’re interested in something more conveninet, here are two simple ways to keep “important” files invisible and only a click a way.

1. Make the Folder Invisible (not hidden)

This works both on Windows XP and Vista, not sure about other Win versions. What this will do is make selected folder invisble, not hidden. The folder will be only visible when you try to highlight it (see below). If you want to make sure that no one discovers it by chance then also move it to the corner of the screen.

How to Create Invisible Folder ?

1. Create a new folder.
2. Rename: Highlight the folder and Click ‘F2′ button. Hold the ‘Alt’ key and type in 0160 (you won’t see those 0160 numbers while typing them). Press Enter. Note, you have to use the numpad to enter these numbers.
3. Change icon: Righ click the folder >> Properties >> Customize >> Change the icon >> Select the blank one >> Ok.



4. Done.
