Make any Folder INVISIBLE

By VJ | Apr 25, 2007

Have you ever wondered, how can you make a folder invisible without even using any kind of softwares?
Well, here is the answer to that. It is very much possible and Windows will help us in doing this.
How? Lets see the answer

  1. Create any new Folder.
  2. Right click and go to Rename, remove the content, press “Alt” and type “0160″. The Folder name would become NIL.

    3. inv_fol1

  3. Now go on to the properties of the folder and click “Customize”, and click “Change Icon”.
  4. Here you will find some icons without any kind of images.

    5. inv_fol2

  5. Select any of these images and click “OK”. You will now see that your folder is now invisible.

If you will select it then it will be shown like this.
inv_fol3
But in a normal manner when you will open your Drive/Folder, it will be Invisible.

Enjoy!!!

    Im sorry, Alt + 0160 did not work for me, i found this same technique on another site, but with a different number, but also the exact same steps as yours. Your step three does work of course, what is the reason for the numbers used. Plz help?

    The three steps worked for me…. but, I cant delete the folder. Or rename it. I have windows Vista so does that mean anything?
