Default Re: How to hide folder in windows XP without using folder guard

arey!

After doing all these stuffs, u can access the file/folder by just typing its name in the address bar

Like u hv hidden a folder named setup in D:\ drive, then to access the folder, simply open My computer and then open D: drive and type Setup in the address bar. Now u can do what u want in the folder.

PS: The registry key which set the option, whether the HIDDEN files/folders should be displayed or not is:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Explorer\Advanced

In right-side pane, the DWORD value Hidden. If its value is 2, then Hidden files/folders will not be shown and if its value is 1, then they will be shown.
