Make a super hidden folder

Right click desktop and create a new folder.This folder is to contain the super hidden folder in case you lose it's whereabouts on desktop.

Open the new folder and create another new folder within.

Right click this inner folder - properties - customise - change icon.Scroll along the icon list until you see a blank space between the icons and select it - OK - apply out of it.

Right click the invisible icon - rename.Hold Alt key and type 255 from the numlock numbers pad (right side of keyboard) - enter and you should have a super hidden folder.

Go back back to desktop and delete the original created folder and that's it.

What use is it, probably useless but at least I know how to do it now.

Better idea:

Encrypt information you don't want others to see.

I can just see someone now creating an invisible folder, putting all their files in it and then not being able to find it later. :P

The only thing is that I bet this will show up in the folder tree view in explorer. So I guess as long as no one looks there you should be fine. :P

i think that is kind of neat actually. thanks for that humpty.

Now to go hide files from the prying eyes of my parents... HAHA jk
