Now rename the folder by this method:

And Type:
0

And then release the ’ALT’ key.
The folder name would now look like this:

Step 3
Now right click the folder icon and select properties.

Then - Customize - Change Icon -
Step 4
Now find a space between the icons. This will be an invisible icon.

You will now notice an invisible folder other than when you click on it you will see a little blue highlight.

Now move the folder where nobody would expect it, like on the bottom or top of the screen.

I'm pretty sure you can make a folder non-viewable just by an option in the properties.
This wont come in handy for me, but its a cool trick.

I cant make it work. So do you go to rename delete "new folder" then hold alt and type 0160 0r do you just select the folder and do it. i'm sorry, i'm a retard.
At first i though..
"God damn it, some ****ing noob stole the tutorial i posted on SP.."
Then i remembered this is my other account on SPP..

Thats the easily detected way. This way, that even if they make it so hidden files are viewable, then they still wont see it.

well if u really want to hide files, i would tell u but... its a secret ^_^
dont use hidden folders or whatever, the hint is compress the files together
if u got some videos, u can how u say... change the extention of it, which makes it look like a system file, but can be viewed as a video in windows media player

You can still open them into a video player.

The reason is wont work for most of you is that you have to do the 0160 on the number pad.

sick i might use
Haha, That's best. I'm not going to hide porn or anything in there, Just a place for super secret projects and whatnot. It would only work for XP, because ALT+0160=
It's an unrecognized ascii code, that doesn't count as a space. This has been helpful, thanks.

finally.. a convenient way to hide my porn...
lol but seriously.. when i did this i made it just to put you on a wild goose chase
i made a big folder named porn.. with a txt doc in it.. and than clues to other folders all over my computer doing the same thing... but in the end all you get is a message saying "dont go looking through my computer.. its a waste of my time and yours"
How do you make a big folder?
Why the hell would you waste your time doing this?
.:pain:.
07-25-2007, 02:00 AM
Awesome!Secret place for secret stuff!
(goes to a random porn site)
My little buddy thanks you.
Youre welcome. And im not as little as you think.

Works, but there's a problem for me. Every time I place the folder somewhere, it ends up right next to my other icons for some reason. Explanation?
Its because you have the icons arranged to grid.

It doesn't do anything when i type those numbers...but you can just go to properties and check "Hidden" if that doesn't work.

Hidden folders wouldn't work.

Did you use the number pad on the side of the keyboard? Because it doesn't work with the ones on the top.

And if you're on a laptop hold Fn + alt then use the keys with the blue subscript numbers on the right side of the keyboard.

I did it now and it works...And people who think this could only be used for porn are retarded. It also helps retarded siblings from deleting your files. If they can't find them, they stay intact ;). You could also use it to hide games at work...
omg, thats amazing! 10/10 for the tut, i <3 it!

I don't really care. I did a great job at hiding it. It's in a folder so deep within WINDOWS that it's impossible to find.
I also have folders within folders, and empty folders. My 1.7 Gigs of porn is safe.

You can. Just make it inside the hidden folder. Then make another hidden folder inside the hidden folder inside the hidden folder
EDIT: Joest,if it's impossible to find,how can you find your porn?
