Make Invisible Folder To Keep Your Secret And Improtant File

Follow these steps:

1. Right click in a directory and go to New Folder.

2. Right click and then go to rename.

3. Delete the name and press Alt + 255. This will make the text disappear. 

   NOTE : Please use the Numpad of you computer for pressing Alt + 255 or else it will not work !!





4. Right click on the folder once again but this time go to properties. Click on the "Customize" tab and go to the bottom where it says "Change Icon".

5. Scroll over and choose a blank icon like in this picture  :



One Minor flaw is that when you highlight the area with the folder, a small rectangle shows, indicating something is there. Also if you change the view to "Details" it will show it in Description.

This is great for hiding folders because if the even if the person highlights the area, they would have to know it was there.
