All right A Brand new SUNDAY!!!
okay So Today I’m Gonna Teach You How to make an
INVISIBLE FOLDER
yea You heard it RIGHT an INVISIBLE FOLDER. So let’s get things started.. 🙂
but before we get started. let me tell you what’s the Idea Behind this and create a new folder on your Desktop 🙂
well as the Topic suggests “Invisible Folder” it’s obviously INVISIBLE 😛 to make that happen we would have to do two things
- make the folder icon look invisible.
- make the folder name look invisible.
okay lets get started now
Step 1 :-
To make the folder look invisible do
RIGHT CLICK ON THE FOLDER -> PROPERTIES -> CUSTOMISE -> Change Icon and select this one.
then click on ok and Okay 😛
and wola step 1 completed.
Step 2 :-
Now Windows 8 Provides us a way to make the folder icon look like it ‘ doesn’t look ‘ 😛 but does it provide a way to change the Folder name to nothing ?? humm… 😛 well In windows we can name a file anything except those which are already reserved ..
The following reserved characters:
- < (less than)
- > (greater than)
- : (colon)
- ” (double quote)
- / (forward slash)
- \ (backslash)
- | (vertical bar or pipe)
- ? (question mark)
- * (asterisk)
however you can name it anything other than the above ones, i.e you can use any other ASCII value 🙂 how cool is that ?? lets execute this simple program and see what all Values are there ( There are like 256 ASCII values 😛 ) lets have a look at them all using this simple C-program.
#include<stdio.h>
int main( int argc,char *args[] )
{
FILE *f = fopen("ascii255.txt","w");
for(int i=0;i<256;i++)
fprintf(f,"ACIII %d = %c\n",i,(char)i);
fclose(f);
return 0;
}
the output of that program is a text file you can download it from here 🙂

I suggest u to download it, now you’ll notice that most of the files ASCII’s are not printable and most of them are Funny and tweaky 😛  but the important one is ASCII 160 It seems as if that is also Unprintable one ( like ASCII 13) but actually its printable text it just looks nothing ( INVISIBLE ) 😛
yea so all u need to do is just copy it. then right click on the folder -> hit Rename -> clear all -> paste -> hit Enter , then hit Enter!! thats it!! Your Folders Invisible now 🙂
Hope you guys Enjoyed it 🙂 take care 🙂
