How to hide a folder in Windows

In Windows, there are several options. However, today we will tell you about a rather unusual way. To this end, an empty name and use an empty (transparent) icon will need to give folder.

So, when you create a folder (this can be done anywhere: Desktop, My documents etc.) instead of its future name typed 255While holding ALT (Figures suggest recruit enabled NumLk. So far it is not clear why, but this trick works only under this condition). At the same name in the folder you are empty, as we promised.

Next in folder properties (Right click on folder -> folder properties), Select the tab adjustment and press change icon. Of the proposed select icons fully transparent. Save the changes.

Now it's your normal folder turned into hidden. This trick also works in XP, and in Vista, but the presence of the included NumLk.

Delete the hidden folder can be from the DOS prompt (Start — Programs — standard — Command line). After its launch go to the directory where is a hidden folder. Next, we collect "dir / x

", Then all the files and folders will be presented short (8 characters) names. Seeking a hidden folder will have a name like «0A00 ~ 1." For its removal recruit "rd / s 0A00 ~ 1"And hit Enter.
