Make Invisible Folder!!!!!!

[047]

Hi this is my first tutorial.I don't know whether u know this trick or not. But it is my owntrick.

Long time back i posted a request for making hidden folder. I got many replies saying change the icon (i.e make it invisible using invisible icon) and change the name using "alt+0160" (i m not sure it is the exact code). But this trick did not serve me what i wanted to know since when u refresh, it flickers and shown to everybody for few seconds.

Now i made a folder which is invisible to everyone and it can be accessed only by typing its name in address bar.


<--trick-->

1. create a folder which u want to make invisible.

2. now type in cmd prompt-> "attrib +h +s <full path of folder>"
(e.g-> "c:\>attrib +h +s c:\abc\xyz")

3. if u want to make it visible type in cmd prompt "attrib -h -s <full path of folder>"
(e.g-> "c:\>attrib -h -s c:\abc\xyz")



<--How to access the folder-->

Suppose u have to access the hidden folder created in "c:\abc" named "xyz" (since it is not visible) go to folder "abc" and just type "xyz" in address bar. U will be in invisible folder.

Now its ur responsibility to remember where u have created the invisible folder

If i missed explaining something please let me know.

Why its invisible? It can be seen by disabling "Hide protected system files" option. Just like normal hidden files/folders can be seen using "Show hidden files/folders" option.

If you really want to make the file/folder invisible, then make sure to disable Folder options and Registry Editor. I have told the full details here:
