This tutorial will discuss how to create a “hidden” folder with a blank name and no icon, so that nobody will know the existence of that folder.
There are a lot of methods to make your folder invisible. The easiest way is to set the property “hidden” to true. Else, you can get some softwares to do it for you. Now, i would like to discuss another method.
Step 1
Right click on anywhere and choose New -> Folder.
Step 2
Rename the folder. When you rename, delete the original name, hold your “alt” key and press “0160“. This will create a blank name for your folder.
Step 3
After that, right click on your folder and choose Properties. Choose Customize and then press Change Icon button. Select a blank icon from the list. Now, you had successfully create a hidden folder.
People will not know the existence of the folder, even they set to view invisible folder. This is because your folder has no icon and no name!
My advise
Try to put the hidden folder at the middle of your desktop, so that no one will accidentally select them. To make your folder more secure, you can check the “hidden” property.
