Posted by: admin in Window XP, Windows 2003 on February 4th, 2009
1. Create new folder by clicking the right mouse button.
2. Instead of giving a name, rename the folder and press ALT + 0160 (number pad not the one at the top of your keyboard). This will give a black name of the folder.
3. Right click the folder -> Properties -> Customize Tab -> change icon button then select a blank icon.
4. Click OK., that’s it.. you have now an invisible folder.
