How to Hide a Folder in Windows XP

[computathug]

Here is a trick how to make an invisible folder on your desktop.
First of all you create a new folder, I recommend taking a note where you place the icon. Once the folder is created click inside the title box to edit it and press alt 0160 consecutively and then release alt.

This has now created a blank ASCII character. Next we want to make the folder icon invisible, so go to right click on the folder and click properties. This will bring you to the next part where you click on the customize tab. Click on Change Icon. Select the blank icon available in shell32.dll. Click apply and watch the folder go invisible in front of your eyes.

Enjoy

And if you want to really hide it, than open Program Files and pick a folder, than in that folder find the skins or plugins etc. folder and place that folder that you hid

Works quite good for pr0n ^^

it still shows up as a folder, its basically camouflaging it.

true story...my friend was over myhouse for me to fix his comp and install games and i opened a dir that had a whitespace...sooo..i clicked it and guess what happened XD pr0n. So i renamed it system360 and put it in the Windows folder.
ah the lulz i got from that were good.

or u can just make the folder hidden i properties,and then folder options do not show hidden file or folders,that works too

yeah, and then someone just changes the folder options to "show hidden files and folders" and finds it easily...
