Usually, people will create a hidden folder in modern Windows operating system by setting the folder properties as hidden. But it’s not really convenient since you have to alter the file/folder viewing setting everytime you wish to view the hidden folder.
Is there any shortcut to this?
The method below was applied using Windows Vista, but I think you can do it with Windows XP or some earlier Windows versions as well. To create a hidden folder without having to mess up with the file/folder viewing setting…
1) Firstly, on your desktop press Right Click -> “New” -> “Folder”
2) Rename the folder and press Alt0160 simultaneously (use Alt key plus the numbers in numpad). You will see the folder name disappear.
3) Right-click on the folder, and clock on “Properties” -> “Customize”. Change the folder icon into none.
Voila!
The folder will reappear when you highlight all the icons on your desktop or click on the spot where the ‘hidden folder’ is located.
